Description
Chocolate has been a coveted treat for over 3,000 years, its story woven from threads of archaeology, botany, and socio-economics. This expertly crafted history begins in the Mexican jungles, where chocolate was first cultivated, and follows its journey as it was traded by the Aztecs, adopted by European aristocrats, and eventually became a food for the masses. The book concludes with a modern perspective, exploring the ethics of the chocolate industry and the latest research into the science behind flavour perception.
