Mahaiwe has A Summer Chocolate Celebration Francine Segan & Johnny Depp

- July 16, 2008

The Mahaiwe presents a feast for the senses…on Saturday August 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m. This Summer Chocolate Celebration at the Mahaiwe is a Special 3-part evening including a talk on the fascinating chocolate history, a tasting of fabulous chocolates and a screening of the award-winning movie Chocolat. 

Join food historian Francine Segan to discover chocolate's exciting history before viewing the film that honors Chocolate and its relationship to love. The Film Chocolat (2000) stars Johnny Depp & Juliette Binoche, and was nominated for 5 Oscars. Tickets are $25 talk, tastings and screening/$20 talk and tastings/$8 screening only. Talk begins at 6:30pm, screening at 8 p.m. Visit www.mahaiwe.org />
Noted lecturer and food writer, and Public Speaker, Francine Segan regularly appears on radio and TV including CBS, Discovery and History channels and the Food Network. Did you know that Casanova played a special role in chocolate history? Were you aware that for 90% of its history chocolate was only a drink, not candy? And amazingly enough, that Christopher Columbus discovered chocolate – possibly his greatest claim to fame! Start with its New World origins and journey through Europe, where chocolate transformed from a grainy bitter brew into the treat we know and love today. Learn how chocolate goes from bean to bar as you are guided through a tasting of various types of fine chocolates supplied by Chocolate Springs, Chocolate Moose in Chatham, Catherine’s Chocolates and Berkshire Bark. “Ms. Segan...exudes the warmth, personality and energy of your really funny next door neighbor keeping you relaxed and entertained throughout her presentation. ... Imparting knowledge along with the humor...."  BellaOnline

Chocolat

At 8 p.m., enjoy a taste for the way films were meant to be seen – on the majestic Mahaiwe screen! Chocolat tells the story of a young mother, played by Juliette Binoche, who arrives at a fictional, repressed French village with her six-year-old daughter and opens La Chocolaterie Maya, a small chocolaterie. Her chocolate quickly begins to change the lives of the townspeople. Tickets available on-line and through the Mahaiwe Box Office at 413-528-0100  www.mahaiwe.org
