Cheryl June has lived around the world and developed a taste for all things chocolate. “My great aunt was from France and was a phenomenal cook who taught me many things,” she told Country ZEST. After starting at the local farmers’ market several years ago, she opened the Chocolate Palette at 141 W Main St. in Purcellville. Guittard and Valrhona chocolate are her favorites. Sipping chocolate is her specialty along with yummy tarts, mousse dome cakes, truffles, tiramisu and more. www.thechocolatepalette.org/
