Frenchman Bertrand Espouey intends setting up a chocolate eating school in Edinburgh! His aim? To teach the Scots how to better enjoy their chocolate.

Msr Espouey said; "For years I've read so much rubbish about chocolate that I want to put people straight," he declares, as he prepares to hold his first chocolate workshops at his Thistle Street shop next month.

"The New York Times had an article saying chocolate was the new olive oil, but it is more appropriate to say chocolate is the new wine," says the chef, who learned a love of wine from his father as he grew up in Paris. "Just as you have different grapes, you have different beans."
