Forget milk chocolate moulded into childish candy bars. Today's
chocolate candies use chocolates with high cocoa content and less
sugar then previously available and are moulded into highly
decorated pieces of art. Once only accessible to pastry chefs and
candy makers, home cooks can now purchase high-end domestic and
imported chocolates in their local speciality stores. The recent
availability of bitter-sweet chocolates coupled with our access to
a global food market and unique ingredients has created an
increased interest in artisan chocolates. Drew Shotts has been at
the forefront of this renaissance because of his daring use of
unique flavour combinations not typically associated with
chocolates, such as chilli peppers, maple syrup and spiced chai
tea. "Making Artisan Chocolates" shows readers how to recreate
Drew's unexpected flavours at home through the use of herbs,
flowers, chillies, spices and many other wonderful ingredients, and
will therefore be a sure-fire hit for the discerning chocolate
enthusiast.
The world loves chocolate and chances are you do too. This
enjoyable book will serve to deepen your love and also your
understanding of chocolate. After reading this pleasurable and
educational account by two leading dieticians, you will agree that
chocolate is much more than simply a treat. You will discover it
encompasses a culture, a cuisine, a treatment, and much more This
book will help you explore some surprising applications of
chocolate to your life: exploring the sensory pleasures of
chocolate, entertaining with chocolate, and chocolate's role in
emotional and physical wellness.
The authors begin by revealing how to truly savor chocolate. Even
the most avid chocoholics will pick up tips on how to intensify the
full chocolate flavor and expand their sensual experience. Next,
they illustrate how cultures around the world enjoy chocolate, and
how chocolate, more than just a flavor, is part of a lifestyle,
holding a special place in holidays and celebrations globally. The
authors journey to the rainforest and explore the origins of
chocolate. They then trace its history through the centuries, from
the Maya and Aztec cultures, where the chocolate phenomenon began.
Over the ages, this dark, delectable food has been viewed as a gift
from the gods, as valuable as gold, a medical treatment for
illness, a social indulgence for the elite, and finally a treat to
be enjoyed by everyone.
Today, science has proved what was revealed to ancient
civilizations so long ago: chocolate has healing powers. At the end
of the 1990s, authors Aaron and Bearden were among the first to
communicate to the media the news that dark chocolate may enhance
health, helping to launch the first "heart healthy" chocolate brand
for a global chocolate company. A recent study by the Research
Laboratories of the Catholic University in Campobasso, in
collaboration with the National Cancer Institute of Milan, Italy
and published in the Journal of Nutrition claims that 6.7 grams of
dark chocolate per day represent the ideal amount for a protective
effect against inflammation and subsequent cardiovascular disease.
With luscious photography and enticing recipes, this delightful,
even mouthwatering, book will bring your appreciation for this gift
of Mother Nature to a new level.

style, this book offers a fun and accessible way to enjoy these
