Pastry Class: A Typical Day

This gives you an idea of some of the stuff that Christian sells. like most of his things, the key is really in the ingredients - he's found a rare supply of Haitian chocolate (apparently Haiti only produces a ton of chocolate each year, and it's considered some of the best). This is also the same guy who searched for years to find the right chocolate for his truffles - ended up going with a Venezuelan one in a limited area in the mountains. He also has an exclusive deal with that plantation too, I think.
