Is it just me, or have the look of some of the truffles changed. It seems the product has gotten a bit more sloppy. Maybe it’s just the nature of her trying to produce more to make up for her extra overhead.

“According to a Chocolate.com article, Kee uses `heavy cream, cocoa, cocoa butter, milk, sugar in different proportions according to my own recipes.’ She doesn’t add butter or sugar, which can be hard to believe.”

uses butter and sugar…doesn’t add butter or sugar

What do you mean?

Fair enough. I wasn’t impressed with the Soma chocolates I had – I thought the CDC chocolates were worlds better. Of course, my chocolate knowledge is severly limited. Just thought it would be interesting due to the ‘chocolate made on premesis’ thing.

SOMA doesn’t compare to any of the afforementioned purveyors. The best they have on offer isn’t their own, its the Amadei bars on the wall. There isn’t anything artisinal going on at SOMA, its all about Bonacini raking in the cash. Same can be said of all of their establishments (Canoe, et al), generally acceptable for the masses. All of the places Chuck mentions absolutely humilate what SOMA is putting out.

Sorry, its the truth. BTW, Chuck has been to SOMA but he has obviously forgotten about the visit… at best, he can say it wasn’t worth hating. Go to Kee’s, its close and INFINITELY better.

adrian, i might have been to Soma and tried a chocolate. nonetheless, i probably won’t have enough time to try it while i’m there next week – touching down and immediately driving to montreal. i’ll see if there’s time for CdC.

Are you planning on checking out Soma in Toronto for chocolate? It would be interesting to read your thoughts as they actually make their chocolate in house from the bean. Your thoughts on Chocolates de Chloe in Montreal would also be interesting.

Robyn, I saw the macaroons on the website too but I’ve never seen them at the store either ? I would love to know how they taste

Sweet jesus, thanks for reminding me how awesome Kee’s is (and for linking to my blog!). I gotta go back and get me…a box…with everything in it. There is something special about the chocs. I see her website features macarons as well! I never saw those before; did you get to try any?
