Gone Chocco

Hi, my name is Kath Lockett and, like 99.9999999% of the population, I love chocolate. Always have, always will.

I’ve been a chocolate reviewer since 2006, at first writing at the UK-based but internationally-focussed website Chocablog and now for Australian readers, eaters, dreamers, consumers, buyers, chefs, dieters and oglers.

Gone Chocco is about fun. I mean chocolate is meant to be fun and pleasurable and make people happy, isn’t it?  It’s also about enjoying the search: finding out what’s available, what’s new, what’s an old classic; what’s to be learned, what other people like and why what you crave when you’re at home on the lounge in your trakkie daks is just as valid as the posh stuff you spent big bucks on.

As for me, I’m a writer, having published the book, Work/Life Balance for Dummies in Australia, the United Kingdom and Germany.  I also write for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers, do book reviews for a variety of publications and blather on about my personal blog that celebrates daggyness in all its forms, Blurb from the Burbs.

Welcome to Gone Chocco.  Linger awhile, subscribe (it’s free and has no calories) and send me an email if you have any queries, suggestions or want to tell me about something worth trying in the chocolate-field.

A couple of times I’ve had to get out of my generous elasticated waistband tracksuit pants and get ready to put my head on the telly:
