Great Moments in Chocolate History: With 20 Classic Recipes From Around the World

Do you love anything chocolate? If you do, then this is the book for you! Written by HOWARD-YANA SHAPIRO, Ph.D., this book is 208 pages full of fantastic, informative and downright fun information about chocolate. Published by National Geographic, I was hoping for a look into some little known facts about chocolate from around the world. I got my wish and much more...including recipes which promise to be instant hits with family and friends. I originally purchased this book as a gift but found myself immersed in it myself. So much so, that I am ordering another book...this time for ME! I highly recommend this book...not just as a gift (with some rich, dark chocolate to go with it) but for anyone who loves learning & cooking too! Treat yourself while the getting is good. After all, if you don’t deserve this book..no one does! Enjoy!

Ordered this book as an 81st birthday present for a very esteemed professional who is an avid reader and chocolate aficionado. When I opened the envelope the book sleeve was already torn. The birthday is today and so have no other recourse but to present it to him without the torn cover. Will pre-plan and go to brick and mortar stores from now on.

Great for any chocolate lover

An incredible treasure trove of information about the history of chocolate. The recipes are a great addition. Highly recommend this book.

I bought this as a gift for a chocolate lover, but found myself loving the history of chocolate too! This is one of the coolest books on chocolate I have ever seen.
