Various Links

This isn't strictly a review of a chocolatier but I thought I would include a few useful chocolate links (also added to the side bar) :

• Since Google now has shared maps, I've created a map of many of my favorite chocolate locations
• If you happen to be in NYC and like chocolate, try SweetWalks for a chocolate tour, it was almost (gasp!) too much chocolate for me.
  
• I've had a few chocolate tastings recently and am always looking to find a good, fast, and cheap online supplier. World Wide Chocolate doesn't have the flashiest website but does a great job, has a huge selection, and has been excessively reliable.
• It's always tough keeping up with the new and interesting players in the chocolate arena. I've had a subscription to The Chocolatier Magazine for the last, ahem, 15 years and it consistently provides informative updates as well as tasty recipes.
• I love my tempering machine. It makes the whole process of truffle-making much simpler. ChocoVision makes a "reasonably" priced machine that works well and convinces you that you can't live without.
