ABOUT
BOND ARTISAN FOODS
Aren't Grandmothers Great?
Who hasn't had the experience of sitting in the kitchen watching
(or helping!) your grandmother cook or bake?
For me it was helping her bake. She had her specialties: peanut butter cookies, doughnuts, pan bread, sugar cookies, and a Norwegian flat bread called Lefse. That time in the kitchen with her has created many wonderful memories. The warmth of the kitchen, the quiet focus of mixing, rolling, baking. I loved the process of it all. And in the end, something delicious to eat and share. I was hooked.
And now after 50 years in the kitchen I have developed my own specialties: artisan breads, cookies, crackers, pizza, brewing kombucha, and most recently, bean to bar chocolate and raw honey from my backyard bees.

A CHOCOLATIER MAKES CHOCOLATES
A CHOCOLATE-MAKER MAKES CHOCOLATE
I MAKE CHOCOLATE
Chocolate has terroir. Cocoa beans develop unique flavors based on where they are grown. The mineral content of the soil, the angle of the sun, the amount of water, all of these things and more contribute to the individual taste of a bar of chocolate made exclusively from beans of a single location.
The fun and challenging part is bringing out the flavors inherent in whatever beans I am working with. Will there be fruity notes? Floral or earthy notes? Will it have a long lasting finish? All of these things are in the bean. It is the chocolate maker’s job to bring the strongest qualities of each location’s beans into the bar.
