"Chocolate: the sweetest escape from reality, melting worries away one delightful bite at a time."

Hello! I'm Marie Auriac, a passionate chocolatier, recipe developer, content writer, and food photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. With over ten years of experience in the UK food and retail sectors, I've a distinctive charm in my creations. My love for crafting delightful chocolate recipes stems from making treats for Christmas with my grandmother and aunt for family and friends.

My chocolate creations are deeply influenced by my island heritage and my experiences various places. Originally from Madagascar and raised in New Caledonia I've gained valuable insights while working in retail for renowned brands in UK like Lindt, Harrods, and Hotel Chocolat, as well as artisanal brands like Paul A Young and Prestat.

In 2025, I am working as a chocolatier in an artisanal chocolate shop in Edinburgh. I share my expertise online, offering chocolate recipes to transform how we enjoy our favourite treats.
