"Nothing is more romantic than chocolate".

Chocolate Sushi
Pure chocolate indulgence was on the mind when Chef Renee Foote started her own catering company ‘Ginder Island Cuisine’ in 2000. While providing an array of catering services, serving the Toronto area, for in-home dinner parties and corporate events, one of Chef Foote’s signature dishes is her hors d’eourve Chocolate Sushi.

This delectable Chocolate Sushi does not contain any rice, fish or wasabi, instead these divine creations are hand-rolled using all natural Belgian and Swiss chocolate and garnished with an assortment of market fresh ingredients.
