Learn the craft of chocolate.
This season, we start in your own kitchen — free video lessons on tasting, tempering, and hand-crafting truffles at home. No experience needed.
Then keep going: record your bases and formulas, run the experiments, log your tests, and ask Nib when a batch goes wrong.
- 7 lessons out now
- New lesson weekly
- No login to watch
- Printable sheets, free
What you'll learn
Season 1 is one argument: your chocolate decides what your ganache can be, and everything you add moves those limits.
Taste Like a Pro
Learn to identify flavour, texture, and quality in chocolate before you ever start making it.
Master the Basics
Tempering, moulding, and the science behind why chocolate behaves the way it does.
Build Your Repertoire
Hand-crafted truffles, ganaches, and signature techniques you'll use for life.
Think Like a Chocolatier
Develop your palate, your process, and your own creative voice.

More than a video library
The lessons are the beginning. Everything you make gets a place to live — a workbench for your formulas, a record of every test, and people running the same experiment the same week.
RC's Corner — your workbench
Digital bases and formulas. Scale a ratio, keep every version, and see what changed between them.
Ask Nib when it goes wrong
Describe the batch. Nib reads your formula and your test record before it answers.
Test records that add up
Log a test, then compare rounds side by side instead of trusting your memory of last Tuesday.
Experiments, run together
Pinned to each lesson. Post your results to unlock everyone else's.
A forum per lesson
RC answers in-thread, and the answers stay with the lesson they belong to.
Printable sheets, free
Tasting notes, base cards, formula sheets. No account, no email.
Works on the bench
Built for a phone propped against the mixer with chocolate on your hands. Your progress follows you from the kitchen to the desk.
A look at the curriculum
Season 1 is a complete foundation you can build entirely at home. It's where we begin — as the course grows, later seasons take the craft beyond the kitchen.
Free. Always.
Lessons are free and always will be. We release new content on the same schedule as our YouTube channel — no paywall, no waiting list.
No login needed to watch. A free account stores your notes; a paid subscription adds advanced features and early access to new lessons.
Every lesson becomes free eventually — paying only moves it forward.
Every released lesson, and all the printable sheets.
RC's Corner, digital formulas and test records, experiments, the forum, questionnaires, and your progress.
Basic sees the next lesson early. Pro runs about two weeks ahead.
