‘David is one of the subject matter experts we regularly use on the course, the students had a fantastic chocolatey day when He returned for the second year to talk to our BA (Hons) undergraduate international hospitality, tourism and events students who are studying gastronomy in their final year.

He managed to fit so much into the day including a history of chocolate and coffee, a coffee and chocolate tasting masterclass and a chocolate and coffee pairing session.

The whole day was incredibly informative, and David's passion and enthusiasm is infectious; he really had all the students engaged from the outset, but then again it doesn't feel like learning when it's covered in chocolate!
