Chocolatier to speak at Main Street Arts

SAXTONS RIVER — “Chocolate As You May Not Know It” is the theme of the second in the Main Street Arts Taste of the Arts series Thursday, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m.

Michael Klug will bring his own take on the confection (and perhaps some samples of his craft) when he shares his expertise as chocolatier for L.A. Burdick Chocolates of Walpole, N.H.

As a chocolatier, Klug develops the flavors, textures, and complexities found in Burdick confections, while seeking to maintain integrity and freshness.

A native of Montabaur, Germany, a small town between Frankfurt and Cologne, Klug began his career in food in 1986, eventually joining L.A. Burdick Chocolate in 2002. His expertise as a chocolatier was honed as a pastry chef at New York restaurants such as Lespinasse, Chanterelle, and The Mark.

Klug's presentation will be preceded by a locally-prepared dinner.
