The Well-Seasoned Librarian: Mixing Cookbooks and Conversation

Chocolate Maven Loyd Auerbach is a lifelong Foodist who got heavily involved in learning as

much as he could about that dark stuff, Chocolate, in the early 2000s. This led him to begin

conducting guided chocolate tasting sessions for audiences big and small and significant further

research. While interviewing famed chocolatier Joseph Schmidt in San Francisco, it was

suggested he learn to be a chocolatier himself – and so he did, earning a Professional

Chocolatier certificate from Ecole Chocolat in 2009. The following year saw him begin to

produce some of his own unique products, mainly “ghost drops,” under the banner Haunted By

Chocolate, which he sold in small lots for several years along with special truffles he still makes

today (though only for special people/audiences).

Auerbach is also a world-recognized paranormal expert/parapsychologist with a

graduate degree in Parapsychology and thousands of media appearances. He is the

coauthor of the new paranormal mystery novel Near Death: A Raney/Daye

Investigation, and the author or coauthor of nine paranormal books including Psychic

Dreaming, Mind Over Matter, ESP Wars: East & West, The Ghost Detectives’ Guide to

Haunted San Francisco, and the classic ESP, Hauntings and Poltergeists. Watch him on Netflix in the recently launched series Surviving Death.

Other Media appearances have included The New Thinking Allowed (YouTube), The UnXplained, ESPN’s SportsCenter, ABC’s The View, Oprah, Larry King Live, Coast to Coast AM, and many hundreds more.
