Dear friends of barcacao,

It is officially Autumn and this is my favourite time of the year for local produce. September is all about late summer fruits like peaches, apricots and plums then followed by lovely apples and pears. On the vegetable side comes brussel sprouts, cabbages and hearty brassicas.
As the days get shorter and a bit cooler it is perfect for slow cooked braising and a beautiful Sunday roast of beef, lamb or pork with all of the trimmings. We are very fortunate to have so many local growers at the markets like Rustic Road and Heritage Farms, as well as some beautiful farmers in Michigan.
The weather is looking great for the weekend, so come explore the market and most importantly, it is officially chocolate season!

Dear friends of barcacao,

The weather for the weekend is not looking too promising with rain on both Saturday and Sunday for the French Markets. So, we are working on contingency plans for Saturday in particular as my mum has a wedding to attend and the shop will not open until 3pm. Please visit our market stall in Wheaton or drop in to the shop in the afternoon. If we are not at the market, the shop will open at 8am until 6pm.
Sunday in Geneva will be as usual from 9 to 2.

Hopefully, the weather forecast changes. Crossed fingers!

We have a beautiful little treat for this week now available in shop and at the markets this weekend. We continue our "pop" series with a coffee whipped ganache + dark chocolate cocoa nib dip.

Dear friends of barcacao,

Between a busy production and a special event in Milwaukee, I forgot to drop a newsletter last week. So here we go. The corn roast was a smashing success although we did not win the grand prize for our corn ribs. Very disappointed and I'll have to up my game for next year! The Downtown Wheaton Association sold more than 500 tickets for the event and the shop was packed out throughout the event.

Last Thursday I was honoured to cook for the last time professionally with my good friend and mentor Mark Weber as he is set to retire next month. The six course menu was comprised of his favourite dishes across his career and I had the privilege of the dessert course, mignardise and chocolate bars for the guests to take home.

We are looking forward to a great weekend at the markets in Wheaton + Geneva as the weather is looking to be gorgeous just like the citrus and basil cake, below.
We did not produce many for the weekend so get them while you can. Available in shop from tomorrow and the markets until they are gone.

Dear friends of barcacao,

We are looking forward to another great weekend at the Wheaton + Geneva French Markets as the weather continues to be gorgeous in the Chicago area.
Can't make it to the market? No worries. Visit us in the shop or place an order online. We ship to every continental state, sorry Hawaii and Alaska. All of our chocolate is shipped with gel packs and thermal wrap to ensure you receive your delicious items intact.

Upcoming Events
September 3 The shop will be closed for a very special event in Milwaukee to honour my good friend and chef mentor Mark Weber as he puts his knives down for the last time. It is a great privilege to make the dessert course and work with him one last time. We served the dessert for a dinner at the James Beard House in 1999 in New York.
September 5 we will be a "corntender" in the first ever Downtown Wheaton Association Corn Roast. We will be cooking up spiced corn ribs with a lime, chilli and coriander dipping sauce. Visit the DWA website at visitdowntownwheaton.org (https://www.visitdowntownwheaton.org) for more details and vote for us for the grand prize!

September 19, we will be hosting a preview and release event for our Autumn/Winter/Holiday 2026 collection. Are you looking for corporate gifting, hotel amenities, gifting for friends, family or colleagues? We'd love for you to stop in from 4 to 6.
