Join us for a guest chef demonstration, featuring Gráinne Mullins, founder and owner of Grá Chocolates.
Chef Gráinne will be demonstrating The Handmade Gingerbread Chocolate Bauble, including mould prep, temper control, other handmade techniques and step-by-step assembly. The session will focus on how to use chocolate as a vessel to balance earthy spice, sweetness and texture, pairing milk chocolate infused with ginger alongside a crisp gingerbread crumb, as well as the science of balancing intensity and sweetness so that every profile appeals to all palates, including non-chocolate lovers.
Throughout the session, Gráinne will discuss how Irish heritage, culture and personal narrative are woven into the design and taste of every creation and the Grá difference: why ingredient integrity matters-working exclusively with palm-oil-free, B Corp Valrhona chocolate and local Irish produce.
About Gráinne Mullins:
Growing up in Galway, Gráinne Mullins developed an early passion
for food and pastry, beginning her career in the kitchens of
five-star hotels as a teenager. Driven by ambition to master
classic techniques at the highest level, she moved to France, for
two years in a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Upon returning to Ireland, Gráinne refined her pastry craft in some
of the country’s most prestigious Michelin-starred establishments.
Her technical mastery, artistic precision, and commitment to local,
seasonal produce led to national acclaim in 2019 when she was named
Euro-Toques Young Chef of the Year-one of the highest honors for
rising culinary talent in Ireland.
In 2020, Gráinne channeled her background in high-end Michelin
kitchens into founding Grá Chocolates. Bringing fine-dining
standards to artisan chocolate, she developed a meticulous four-day
craft process using ethical B Corp Valrhona chocolate, premium
Irish dairy, and hand-painted artistry. What began in her family’s
shed has rapidly expanded into an internationally recognised luxury
brand, with over 50 product lines and a state-of-the-art chocolate
factory and visitor center currently underway in Galway.
Grounded in fine-dining technique and driven by the ethos of Grá
(the Irish word for love), Gráinne brings world-class pastry
craftsmanship and storytelling to every demonstration and
creation.
