The delectable journey into the world of chocolate--by the
award-winning author of Olives Science, over recent years, has
confirmed what chocolate lovers have always known: the stuff is
actually good for you. It's the Valentine's Day drug of choice, has
more antioxidants than red wine, and triggers the same brain
responses as falling in love. Nothing, in the end, can stand up to
chocolate as a basic fundament to human life. In this scintillating
narrative, acclaimed foodie Mort Rosenblum delves into the complex
world of chocolate. From the mole poblano (chile-laced chicken with
chocolate) of ancient Mexico to the contemporary French
chocolatiers who produce the palets d'or (bite-sized, gold-flecked
bricks of dark chocolate) to the vast empires of Hershey, Godiva,
and Valrhona, Rosenblum follows the chocolate trail the world over.
He visits cacao plantations; meets with growers, buyers, makers,
and tasters; and investigates the dark side of the chocolate trade
as well as the enduring appeal of its product. Engaging,
entertaining, and revealing, Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark
and Light is an intriguing foray into this "food of the gods."
