Learned so many things, like tempering ganaches, making marzipan flavored with purees, the importance of a heat gun when dealing with chocolate and even sealing bonbons with liquid filling without making a mess. Amazing, he's a great inspiration!
It lacks the kind of chocolate, and how to melt it. How long in the microwave for example? Or if in a bain marie, etc.
