fishing quarter gallery, Brighton

Hollys Art and Chocolate is at the Fishing quarter gallery along Brighton beach. 10am - 6pm every day, along with 5 other artists. June 11th until 23rd, open every day. This little area of the beach is very popular with people who enjoy fresh sea food,, hundreds of people can be seen walking along eating mussles, cockles, whelks, crayfish tails (my favourite) and freshly grilled sardines (I had some today, yummy). Also the best fish monger in Brighton is situated here, so drop by and see us this week.

Chocolate is mood food

Heres the science…………………………. Phenylethylamine (PEA) which is found in chocolate. PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. Anandamide A neurotransmitter called anandamide, has been isolated in cacao. Anandamide is also produced naturally in the brain. Anandamide is known as the bliss chemical because it is released while we are feeling great. The purer the chocolate (organic or Raw) the better as over processing destroys the goodness. Thats why I only use pure organic cacao from the most reputable sources, because you can taste the difference. Hx

diabetic chocolate

due to popular demand I thought it best to tell you about my sugar free bars of raw chocolate. The bars are tempered just like normal chocolate bars and therefore not soft. The chocolate is made from raw cacao powder and argave syrup. I have some infused with geranium ( a bit like turkish delight) and plain. The 100g bars are 80% cocoa solids. If you are interested then get in touch info@chocoholly.com
