Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year on February 14th. Traditionally gifts, candy, and flowers are exchanged in honor of Saint Valentine. February has long be regarded as the month of romance.  There are many legends that tell the story of the origin on this holiday.

Chocolate is more than a dessert to Christopher George. To him, the detail and patience, the deft touch, and the inspiration required to make great chocolate is more of an artform.
