Riassunto

With The Bluffer s Guide to Chocolate, instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of chocolate. Never again confuse your Olmecs with your Aztecs, your xocoatl with your cacao, or your conching with your blooming. More importantly know the names of which chocolate makers and chocolatiers to drop into conversation to underline your choc-credentials. Bask in the admiration of your fellow chocolate aficionados as you pronounce confidently on the provenance of the bean in your bar, why you prefer a criollo to a forastero or a trinitario, and why the world s finest chocolate is a cold-worked authentic Aztec-influenced mix from Modica. DO SAY I m getting damp, fresh hay on a spring morning, with a little mint and a trace of loganberry. And is that a hint of smoke I detect? DON T SAY Gimme a Yorkie Bar. It s not for girls. The Bluffer's® Guides: the 5-million-copy bestselling book series. These short, humorous guides contain all the facts you need to become an instant expert.

Recensione

Fluent in coffee and articulate on wine, but don t know your Ghanaian from Grenadian? Help is at hand. Soon you ll be saying, Ah, the unmistakeable, cold-worked granularity of the finest Modican with the best of em. --Marina O Loughlin, Restaurant Critic, The Guardian

Neil Davey s entertaining book will help you know your conching from your tempering and give you just enough of the backstory to bandy about as you peel back the foil if you happen to find yourself in a room full of chocolate experts. And even if that scenario is unlikely, it s a thoroughly enjoyable read --Karen Barnes, Editor, Delicious Magazine
