COOKING WITH PLANT MEDICINE FEATURING CHOCOLATIER, LAUREN GOCKLEY
A true chocolatier and artist of the highest caliber, Lauren (along with her Coda signature team) has been recognized as one of the top edibles creators in the state of Colorado and nationally. Lauren completed her studies as a classically trained chocolatier at l’Ecole du Grand Chocolat in Tain l’Hermitage, home of the Valrhona Chocolate Company.
THE USUAL
After graduating at 24, she worked in a series of Parisian pastry shops before returning to the states where she quickly found a place with Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Bank in Houston, and then on to Thomas Keller’s Per Se in New York. Lauren worked as a raw, vegan chocolatier for four years, gaining great knowledge and appreciation for the complexity and versatility of cacao in its natural form. After 10 years of chocolate mastery, she was named one of Dessert Professional’s Top 10 Chocolatiers in North America.

Lauren is now the Director of Edibles at Coda Signature. In music, a coda represents the culmination of the musical language that comprises a piece, delivered with a distinct expression all its own. Coda Signature is that moment in the evolution of cannabis. With music as our muse and cannabis as our medium, Coda Signature creates cannabis infused products full of inspiration and imagination. Meant to warm our hearts, Lauren presents us with this Decadent Coffee, featuring Coda Signature’s award winning Coffee & Doughnuts chocolate bar. (If Coda Signature is not available in your state, it can be substituted with another infused chocolate.)
