Learn how to become an expert ‘chocolate wrapper whisperer’ and revisit some childhood favourites as you taste along with this deliciously indulgent session. 

You’re invited to take a closer at iconic chocolate products as Sarah unwraps the stories of the cultural history preserved in the packaging. Experience a Proustian rush of nostalgia if you see a product from your childhood while you explore how the language on wrappers past and present evokes the indulgent experience of eating chocolate.

BYO menu

When you book you’ll receive a list of easy-to-source items to purchase in advance that will stimulate your taste buds and bring the journey to life through all your senses.

Suitable for all, no experience needed and you can join this virtual session from anywhere in the world.

CAMERA ON! You're encouraged to have your camera on because this is a live, interactive and social Zoom session. My sessions are created to feel like we're all in the same room together. However, if you feel uncomfortable having your camera on or have internet issues you're still very welcome to join the session. 

“A really enjoyable evening and a trip down memory lane!” Jackie Curtis

“They came in search of paradise and found it...at a TypeTasting session!” Melissa Scott

Hello, I'm Sarah the host for this session. I'm the author of a number of books including 'Why Fonts Matter' and 'How to Draw Type and Influence People'. I'm a TEDx speaker, a regular guest on BBC Radio 4 and I sometimes appear on TV on shows like Channel 4's Sunday Brunch.

I make typography exciting for everybody, not just experts. Have you ever wondered whether you judge a shop or pub by its sign? Or why you judge a bottle by its label? Over the last seven years, I've welcomed thousands of people to my events and workshops. Now I'm excited that I can bring these experiences directly to you wherever you are in the world.

Recent Zoom guests have said “The event is genius”,  “you are such an amazing storyteller!” and “That was fun. Whoever woulda’ thought that I could be eating granola in Portland Oregon while visiting London?”
