Africa-Press – Ghana. In a high-tech downtown lab, where stainless steel machines rattle and whir, the sweet smell of chocolate pirouettes through the air while 18 students learn to make magic.
A cynic might say the SUNY Schenectady County Community College culinary arts students are really just learning to make chocolate, but there’s magic in that. Think about it: They somehow turn beans into bonbons and chocolate bars.
Chocolate and confections instructor Vanessa Traver is the Willy Wonka of the 2,936-square-foot lab, located in Schenectady’s Mill Artisan District. She said she’s thrilled to teach the art of bean-to-bar chocolate-making in the two-semester chocolate and confections class, which launched at the beginning of the fall semester. Running this mini chocolate factory is better than what’s depicted in the story “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Traver insisted.
