The True History of Chocolate

Second Edition
by Sophie D. Coe and Michael D. Coe

The Coes, both anthropologists with a culinary bent, delve deeply into the history of their mouth-watering subject. The material on ancient cultures is particularly fascinating. Did you know that the Maya used unsweetened liquid chocolate as currency? And in a chapter called "Chocolate for the Masses," they detail the modernization of chocolate manufacture, which has allowed more than 25 million Hershey's Kisses to roll off the conveyor belt each day.

"A beautifully written and illustrated history of the Food of the Gods, from the Olmecs to present-day developments." --Chocolatier
