Welcome to my website!
I am Anne Isham, an independent chocolatier,
a writer and a devotee of fine chocolate! I have earned
the Professional Chocolatier Certificate of Achievement,
with Honors, from Ecole Chocolat, Professional
School of Chocolate Arts in Vancouver, B.C.
The third of a family of eleven children.
I was raised in Texas, and live there still, with my husband
and our canine and feline companions, Zuni and Sam. My views
on life and chocolate were shaped, in part, by experiences
growing up in a riotous sibling circus. However, a genetic
propensity for chocolate consumption, passed down to me
by both grandmothers, primarily accounts for my chococentric
worldview.
I’ve had many adventures in the
pursuit of fine chocolate. How I came to be so besotted
with chocolate stems from my genes and upbringing and are
covered in my book, Eat Chocolate – Lose Weight The
Chocoholic’s Survival Guide and Practical Handbook.
My interest in the nutritional, culinary
and historic aspects of chocolate begins with a life changing
hike in the Rockies and continues through many adventures
including a trek to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Carpe Xocoatl!
