Shekoh Moossavi

Shokolaat, Palo Alto, California

Shekoh Moossavi is opening SHOKOLAAT in Palo Alto in Spring of 2007. This unique idea of serving European-inspired California food with fine pastries, artisan breads, and one-of-a-kind chocolates is a culinary collaboration of two professional chefs with individual passions.

Shekoh, who was born and raised in Iran, later moved to Brussels, Belgium. In 1986, she moved to the United States and achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Science. She worked in eye-research for many years and later changed her career from science to culinary. She graduated from the Florida Culinary Institute in Palm Beach, Florida.
She worked at many 5-STAR / 5-DIAMOND hotels and restaurants, including the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Florida.

In 2002, she moved to San Francisco and worked at various well-known restaurants. In 2003, she recreated Restaurant Gervais under her ownership along with her husband, Mark Ainsworth, as the consulting Pastry Chef.
Shekoh is now realizing her dream of having a very unique destination for fine food and worldly wines in this special environment >>> shokolaat.com

Kate.  It is my experience that the vast majority of AMERICANS cannot spell or pronounce the simplest words correctly (ie George Bush). While his spelling might not be 100% accurate, my husband's intentions are 100% genuine.  I would much prefer a honest and heartfelt expression of appreciation than politically correct or "Kate-approved" self-serving rhetoric.

Regards,

Tonya

KATE! thanks for correction!

My wife "TONYA" who was an English Major just said that you are right!  The proper spelling is as you mentioned, but according to her, 90% of the people spell it the way I did. However wrong, I just wanted to express my feelings towards her achievement.  Sorry for the miss-spelling, we know it's wrong but that's how we "Iranian" WANT to spell it!! and  for now, you can kiss my congra "T" ulations!!

 Thank you for being such a DICK..................tionary.

 Love ya!
