Backstory

Three drops of her own tears fell into the chocolate ganache that night, and somehow made it taste extraordinary. Esther Obi had been weeping over her father's deathbed letter—written in Igbo on one side, French on the other—when she accidentally created her signature recipe that would later make her famous across two continents. The letter revealed he had been secretly funding her apprenticeship with Belgium's most reclusive chocolatier, a man who hadn't taken a student in twenty years but who owed her father a life debt from their shared time as refugees. Now, with her workshop thriving, Esther infuses each chocolate with the same bittersweet complexity of that pivotal night, crafting confections that somehow taste like both celebration and remembrance.
