Riassunto

Sandy Boynton quotes research telling us that fourteen out of any ten individuals like chocolate. Using “like” as in “I like to breathe.”

Here is the absolute ideal gift for every true chocolate obsessive, and it’s even better than actual chocolate, since this book will last SO much longer. And, unlike chocolate, the book is also great for sharing.

A New York Times bestseller in its original edition, Chocolate is a timeless illustrated classic, filled with useful facts and vital misinformation. And now it has been thoroughly updated, rewritten, and redrawn—with over 200 drawings featuring those beloved and often bewildered Boynton characters. Diligent to a fault, Boynton nobly sourced and consumed untold quantities of great chocolate, with no thought for her own personal safety.

Discover the many faces of chocolate—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, boxed chocolates, faux chocolate, and the exciting and intense new frontier known as “craft chocolate.” Learn about chocolate’s complex effects on the body, the brain, and the soul. Prepare select simple recipes, such as “Hippo Pot de Mousse,” specifically designed with the impatience of the chocolate-loving cook in mind. There’s even a handy guide to saying “Excuse me, where is the nearest chocolate?” in eleven languages, including Klingon. Boldly go.
