If the Bandra-Worli Sealink bridge was made of chocolate, the traffic would only comprise of kids. But chocolate master Adelbert Bucher's recent chocolate installation at a surburban five star hotel, brought together a mixed-bag of visitors who couldn't stop marvelling at his sweet piece of art. CS caught up with Bucher for a quick bite: <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/mar/BWSL.jpg" border="5" /> Labour of love It took me one week to prepare the needed amount of chocolate, and three days to work on the bridge. The bridge is made of milk chocolate while the railing is done with dark chocolate. I have used white milk chocolate for the suspensions and strings. The cars on the bridge aren't made of chocolate though (laughs). I decided to make the bridge as it is iconic to Mumbai and a technical marvel. I am off to Delhi now, where I will prepare the Taj Mahal from white chocolate. Late on chocolateu00a0u00a0 I didn't always aspire to become a chocolate master. I am from Lucerne in Switzerland. My family is full of policemen, and as a young man, I wanted to become a graphics editor. However, that didn't work out. Then someone, asked me to join the chocolate-making factory. I got into the industry and was totally hooked on to it. My family has been very supportive and that's a blessing. I've been in this line for a while. It takes years to perfect the art of chocolate-making. I learnt it for four years. You need to have a lot of patience, knowledge and stamina. Healthy bite I'm in the right job, because I work on a product that is healthy. A piece of chocolate has minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants that are good for your health. It is an excellent appetiser. Chocolate is not merely a product for pleasure but also gives you instant energy. And even diabetics can have some kind of chocolates in moderation, like dark chocolate. Having chocolate with wine or coffee is a heavenly experience.
