Chocolates By Ryan L Foote
About Chocolates By Ryan L Foote
Ryan L Foote set out to re-imagine chocolates for today, creating chocolates that are both visually engaging and reflective of contemporary design. With unexpected flavours and innovative recipes, from traditional Asian flavours not normally found in chocolates to Australian native botanicals that you might never have tasted or even heard of.
Chocolates by Ryan L Foote based in Hong Kong and stocked in our menlourn showroom creates some of the most luxurious and thought-provoking chocolates available. Fusing state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies, with age-old chocolatier techniques to create amazing fractal, geometric and organic sculptural forms that are miniature forms of edible art… almost too pretty to eat.
Foote creates flavours that pay tribute to his two homes Melbourne and Hong Kong and take inspiration from traditional Cantonese desserts and Australian native flora.
Along with several other collections like his Single Origin and Whiskey, Foote has set out to push the boundaries and create unique bits of edible art.
