After more than three months of hardwork, Chef Alain Roby and his wife, Esther, are happy to announce that their All-Chocolate Kitchen is finally complete. More than 1,500 pounds of Barry Callebaut Chocolate was used to complete the task. Highlights of The All-Chocolate Kitchen, which is more than 12 feet long, include a stove, putter sink and high-end cabinetry all made of chocolate. Chef Alain Roby is most proud of the range hood and stained-glass window that are included in his masterpiece. According to him, these two pieces are extremely detailed and are designed of chocolate, sugar and paints made from food coloring.
The All-Chocolate Kitchen continues to be open at 507 S. Third Street in Geneva, IL. As a reminder, Saturday evenings showcase some of Chef's world-renown talents as he creates sugar sculptures and on Monday evenings, guests can reserve their very own chocolate tasting, where Chef's chocolates can be sampled and his hot chocolate enjoyed.
To date, more than 1,000 guests have visited the unique shoppe, where a portion of all proceeds benefit the Saving tiny Hearts Society.
To schedule a meeting or appearance with Chef Alain Roby, please contact Linda Parke at lindaparke@comcast.net or 603.682.3084. Photographs are available upon request and photography of the shoppe can be scheduled with written permission.
