Research tells 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--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, with over 500,000 copies sold, Chocolate is a timeless illustrated classic, filled with useful facts and vital misinformation. And now it has now been thoroughly updated, rewritten, and redrawn by Sandra Boynton--with over 200 drawings featuring those beloved and often bewildered Boynton characters. And her new research was extensive: 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. And then there are select simple recipes, such as "Hippo Pot de Mousse," specifically designed with the impatience of the chocolate-loving cook in mind. And finally, discover how to grow and/or source your own chocolate. There's even a handy guide to saying "Excuse me, where is the nearest chocolate?" in eleven different languages. Including Klingon. Boldly go.
