If you love chocolate, be sure to put this series on your watchlist. Taking you to Los Angeles, USA is this new series hosted by master chocolatier Amaury Guichon, who mentors eight students on the art of chocolate.
Throughout the season, the students will compete for a prize through completing pastry challenges. Watch as chef Guichon creates stunning masterpieces, made with 100 per cent chocolate, while imparting his knowledge to his mentees. This reality competition show is light-hearted, resisting the play-outness of other baking competitions.
