Chocolate enthusiast and expert Dana Zemack has been leading chocolate tastings, teaching tasting workshops, and throwing public and private chocolate tasting parties since 2003.

After hanging out in the kitchen for most of her childhood and spending much of her free time in college baking and throwing dinner parties, Dana’s chocolate love affair officially began on February 14, 2003, when she made a chocolate sculpture for a friend. After noticing how strongly the people around her reacted to her little chocolate creation, she started teaching chocolate sculpting classes locally at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.

Her “Crafting with Chocolate” classes quickly became quite popular. Shortly thereafter, she came up with the concept of chocolate tasting while sitting in an empty warehouse reading a chapter about chocolate in Zingerman’s Guide to Good Eating. After testing out various chocolate tasting methodologies and teaching a couple tasting workshops at the Cambridge Center, she organized The Tasty Show Chocolate Tasting Party, her debut public chocolate tasting at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge. Since then, Dana’s chocolate expertise has continued to grow. She has organized numerous public and private chocolate tasting events and has shared her thoughts about fine chocolate with newspapers, morning shows, and magazines nationwide.

The Tasty Show continues to be the means by which Dana can share and indulge her undying love for the world of fine chocolate. When she is not tasting chocolate or throwing tasting parties, Dana runs Zemack PR & Communications.
