Chocolat Uzma Sharif

During her rotations as a pastry chef in culinary school, Uzma Sharif caught the eye of her head chef by drizzling chocolate with the same technique she used to decorate hands with henna. “You’re going to be a great success with that someday,” he predicted. The roots of her talents as a chocolatier go back even deeper, however. In Pakistan, her pastry-chef grandfather was well known for his delicate pink macaroons, and her mother and seven aunts each inherited their father’s baking skills. In January 2011, Uzma followed in her family members' footsteps, founding her own shop to purvey her hand-crafted chocolate creations as Chocolat Uzma Sharif.

These confections brim with unexpected ingredients, such as candied rose petals, Kashmiri chai, and cardamom, or glow with floral colors, such as the pinks and blues on the ombre butterflies that are Uzma's current favorite. The chocolatier handpicks the ingredients that go into her sweet creations, choosing all-natural, organic options when possible. Focused on perfecting a small selection of goods, she makes her chocolates in small batches and packages them in eco-friendly boxes she’s designed herself.

During chocolate classes at her Pilsen kitchen, Uzma teaches students about the origins of raw chocolate and the science behind making a bar with the right sheen and snap. Uzma also shares methods for choosing good chocolate from store shelves, starting with deciphering the percentages on the label and asking it whether it’s been naughty or nice.

The Groupon Guide to: Ironic Wish Fulfillment

Whether you’re a genie, a devil, or a billionaire, eventually you will use your power to use someone’s deepest desires to punish them. Here are some tips to make sure you get it right:

If they wish for:
A Billion Dollars
Grant them:
A billion-dollar life-insurance check from their favorite dog/soulmate’s insurance policy

If they wish for:
Incredible Guitar Ability
Grant them:
Incredible guitar ability because the music biz is all about connections and politics not talent. It’s such a load of bull. Songs don’t have any heart anymore.

If they wish for:
World Peace
Grant them:
World peace that has been fostered by the entire world’s mutual hatred of [person who made the wish].

If they wish for:
A Long and Happy Life
Grant them:
A long and happy life, but in a really passive-aggressive way that lets them know you didn’t really want to do it.

If they wish for:
More Wishes
Grant them:
The ability to wish for whatever they want WHILE THEY BURN IN THE SUN’S CORE.

Is there a way to win at wishes?
