From the steppes of Siberia to the plains of the Serengeti, rare indeed is the person, young or old, who has not heard of Hershey's chocolate! It could be the best known product in the world. The Hershey Company was founded by Milton Hershey in Pennsylvania in the late 1800's, and quickly grew to become an international phenomenon. Here is Hershey's 1934 Cookbook, the distillation of their hard-won expertise in all things chocolate. It covers the entire spectrum of chocolate know how, from the history of chocolate, the preparation of the primary products, and the various forms that chocolate takes to a stunning variety of chocolate recipes. For anyone who likes chocolate, and who doesn't, this is a treasurehouse of a cookbook.

If you have only had store bought chocolate pudding you have not tasted what pudding should be. True, it will take more effort, but once you have tried it (especially warm with bread and butter to dip) you will never call that other stuff pudding again. Lots of great recipes in this one.

If you are looking for a great, whimsical book then you have to pickup a copy. It's cute to see the original recipes and some of the old pictures too.

If you love chocolate you have to get this book! Brownies, Almond Nuggets, Pecan Pralines, Butterscotch Pie... all using chocolate. You can't go wrong.

I got this cookbook years ago as a gift. I've probably tried less than half the recipes. The chocolate dessert waffles on page 76 are a favorite with my family. The chocolate coconut squares on page 86 are very good too.

The pictures depicting the 1930's are fun to look at. There's an article after the table of contents about life in America during the 30s. There is no index.

I think anyone who enjoys cookbooks and cooking would like this book.

We accidentally gave away my treasured cookbook with some other Hershey items when we re-modeled our kitchen. I was crushed. It was a joy to find this book in such good condition and actually in better shape than mine. It arrived quickly as promised. Thanks you!
