The Spanish have been passionate about chocolate since the Conquistadors first brought cacao back from South America over 500 years ago. The Spanish like to start and end their day with chocolate, and so will Annie in this sweet and sexy episode. Annie visits Spain's chocolate capital, Barcelona, where chocolate is an art form. There, she visits the showroom of the Willy Wonka of Barcelona - avant-garde chocolatero Cristian Escriba - who transforms chocolate into surreal art. Annie also meets the well-loved Montse Roca at her traditional tavern in Girona to help cook up a savory Catalonian dish of snails and crab with chocolate, then on to the high-end restaurant, El Celler de Can Roca, run by Montse Roca's three sons for more chocolate inspired dishes and a fantasy chocolate dessert. Locations: Barcelona, Gerona.
