Savannah Technical College’s Culinary Institute of Savannah proudly offers its sixth annual online, pre-order sale, Bistro Savoir, featuring assorted chocolate truffles, hand-dipped chocolate strawberries, pastries and artisan brioche for Valentine’s Day at www.bistrosavoir.com.

This year, a traditional French pastry, called religieuse, has been added to the list of artisan desserts. It is made of two stacked choux pastry cases, one larger than the other, filled with coffee-flavored pastry cream.

Hand-made chocolates include dipped strawberries (6) and an assortment of 15 handmade chocolate truffles in four flavors: white chocolate raspberry, milk chocolate amaretto, dark chocolate lemon log and dark chocolate Grand Marnier. Truffles will be sold in a heart-shaped cardboard box for $24 or an artisan dark chocolate bon bon box for $36. The sale also features berry cream tarts, alize cake for two and fondant-topped heart-shaped sugar cookies. The sale also includes a heart-shaped brioche loaf (1.5lbs).
 
Online pre-order sales are available through noon on February 8, or when quantities are sold out. Orders will be available for pickup at the College’s Savannah campus February 13 from 4-6PM and on February 14 from 8AM – noon. By request only, pickup will be available at the Crossroads, Liberty and Effingham Campuses. For a list of items for sale and to place orders, visit www.bistrosavoir.com.
 
Proceeds will benefit the Boiardi Culinary Exchange Scholarship to fund lodging/travel for an educational exchange for elite STC Culinary/Baking Pastry Arts students. Savannah Technical College has sent two groups of students to study in France since 2016. Last March, students from the Academy of Toulouse spent four weeks studying at the Culinary Institute of Savannah. Students are selected as finalists for the educational exchange based on grade point average and exceptional classroom performance in addition to a culinary competition and personal interviews.
