Very Colorful book filled with pictures, December 11, 2002
This review is from: Chocolate: An Illustrated History (Hardcover)
This book is filled with pictures detailing the history of chocolate. From when Christopher Columbus first tried chocolate up through making it and enjoying it in the form that we do now is covered. Chocolate was first enjoyed by the native americas as a cold beverage, it wasn't until it had been in Europe for 100 years did we begin to make it into the form that we know and love today.
Chocolate is filled with pictures that will make you tongue water. Many chocolate companies were kind enough to show their making process in the book. So perhaps this book is well suited for a younger audience. I am sure you will be the hit of any young person showing this book to them. Even the cover has all sorts of delightful chocolate treats on the cover. There are no recipes in this book, just tasty looking pictures and everything you want to know about chocolate.
