L’Obsession du Chocolat

Sofitel has unveiled a limited edition culinary program – L’Obsession du Chocolat.  From the beginning of this month until 22nd December 2007, guests at all ten North American Sofitel properties will have the opportunity to savour the decadence of chocolate – a worldly obsession that began more than 2,000 years ago when the tasty secret of the cacao tree was discovered. The ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America, which include the Mayan and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with a variety of spices to create a spicy, frothy drink. Sofitel’s L’Obsession du Chocolat pays tribute with a multitude of recipes and offerings including steaming pots of hot chocolate to start the day.
