About Sarabeth "Yeli" Marshall The proud owner of Yelibelly Chocolates in Southlake, Texas. Visit our store and sample our award winning, artisan chocolates! Registered Dietitian and chocolatier with over 14 years of experience in the fields of food/nutrition program branding and promotion, menu and product development, wellness program development, foodservice management and USDA food programs. About Yelibelly Chocolates (from the Brassys Award Site)   What is your company’s vision? Working with chocolate requires a range of culinary skills, a bit of artistry and a talent for taste. While technique and hand skills are important to the success of a chocolatier, taste is the most important element of all. To provide something that looks amazing is one thing, but once someone tastes the chocolate, nothing else matters. Our vision is to offer exquisite, flavor-infused chocolate to the masses. We’re willing to break a few culinary rules and set our chocolate apart by offering flavors that tempt and tease. Let’s spice it up with habanero or bring in a savory taste with a procini mushroom infused ganache. In the end, we are going to get chocolate wasted! What makes your product or business unique and innovative? Yelibelly Chocolates is built on science and sparkle. Meet our chocolatier, Yeli, the only belly-dancing, dietitian-turned-chocolatier on the scene. Her background is not in culinary arts but in food and nutritional science. She worked as a dietitian for 14 years before opening Yelibelly. That science background brings a different vision to the chocolate from years of working in research and development and it shows in our unique flavor profiles. And then there is the sparkle! The first boutique to sell our chocolate was the dance studio were Yeli was teaching Egyptian Belly Dance. By bringing together her two passions – chocolate and bellydance, we get Yelibelly Chocolates!     Key Takeaways - How Yeli went from Being a  Dietitian to a Food Buisness - The power of aroma-based Chocolate - Why Yeli enjoys being creative and loves it when people enjoy her food What We Talk About Texas  Artisan Chocolate Company Bon bon and truffles  Back end selling  Airbrush Colored Cocoabutter transfer sheets  Registered Dietitian Genova Italy Cardemom  Cedar Infused Chocolate Sriracha Chocolate (not a good idea) Biggest Challenge we have to face: Misinformation. My background leads me to too much knowledge Gluten-Free Water What’s one thing you’d like to know more about?: How do I make new products? Chicago Callebuat Academy Valrhona Chocolate Company East Coast Guitard California Chocolate Course Callebaut learning library (FREE) Who Inspired You to Get Into Food?: Ethnic Restaurants, her ex-husband Kitchen Item:  Sil-pad (Silicon Pad),  Tempering Machine One Meal to Eat: Indian Food, more specifically Chicken Tiki Masala  Clove in Chocolate Advice for Starting a Food Business: Don’t give up, don’t back down.
