New learning for 20/10/10

Today my new learning was about finding recipes to compare and I found two I looked at each one and did a venn diagram about both the recipes it was very interesting because there was a big difference in the recipes I will soon be making the chocolate.

My vist to Patagonia.

When I went to Patagonia for my passion project I learnt about the different types of dark chocolate like the strongest dark chocolate is 71% and the one you usually buy in bars is 58%. I also asked them some questions here they are, with the answers.

My new learning 21/9/10

Today my new learning was about fair trade chocolate, and how it makes it easier for the people over in Ghana and how before they were suffering because they didn't have enough money to feed their families, and now with fair trade chocolate they get paid to pick the cocoa beans. I think it is a very good for over in Ghana they now have enough money to feed all their families. In Ghana they say that fair trade chocolate has changed their lives. Did you know that around 25 thousand families are involved in cocoa bean picking. 21/9/10 My next part of my investigation is to find out which brands use fair trade chocolate.

This is a diagram that shows what they did at the Seriously Good Chocolate Factory with the chocolate after it got delivered from up north of New Zealand.

We went to the Seriously Good Chocolate Factory to find out the process of making chocolate. In these photos you can see that they melted the chocolate down and poured it in to the molds.
