"A rich, gourmet world tour of chocolate!"

This book tells the incredible story of the cacao tree and the humankind's ingenuity in transforming its fruit into a beverage, initially reserved for the elite, and then made a universal product accessible to one and all. It reveals the secrets of chocolate making from bean to bar, as well as its many by-products, each more tempting than the last, or else for use in recipes. Magnificently illustrated with remarkable color plates, it takes the reader on a tour of a particularly rich and delicious world!
