FORT MYERS, Fla. - Oct. 22, 2019 - PRLog -- Norman Love, owner and founder of Norman Love Confections, recently hosted culinary courses at Gather, a JW Epicurean & Mindful Experience, a food and wine festival held at JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa on the Venetian archipelago of Isola delle Rose. In partnership with Food and Wine, the event brought together some of the world's leading culinary and wellness experts for a three-day epicurean extravaganza offering guests intimate chef cooking classes, tastings, experiential dinners and engaging opportunities to explore the connection between food and well-being.

With an emphasis on premium ingredients and innovative flavor combinations, renowned chocolatier Norman Love hosted a cooking class, For the Love of Chocolate, sharing the culinary artistry that goes into making each piece of his handcrafted confectionary delights into gorgeous gourmet works of art.

Additionally, at a second workshop, Chef Love demonstrated his take on tiramisu, the classic Italian dessert whose name means "pick me up" in Italian. Attendees watched as Norman Love created an eye-catching, modern version of the aptly named coffee-flavored dessert made from a light, airy sponge cake soaked in sweet espresso and layered with mascarpone cheese mousse.

During the coveted grand "Il Finale: All-Star Feast gala dinner, Chef Love joined five Michelin-star chefs to present a multi-course seated dinner to 130 guests, where he presented his interpretation of Ferrero Rocher, a chocolate and hazelnut confectionery produced by the Italian chocolatier, Ferrero.
