Nice eye catching cover on this one. Good representation of the subject matter found within. Great composition and title work as well.
This was an interesting little book chocked full of great info, tips, tricks, and recipes about the most fantastic food in the world...CHOCOLATE. It was well laid out and full of yummy photos and fun graphics. It is divided into the following chapters ( From the Bean, A Sense of Place, Tasting and Eating, Chocolate Snobs, and Labeling and the Art of Design.)
I wouldn't say it was the most riveting of books, but if you are looking at trying your hand at artisan chocolate making then this would be a good book to add to your collection.
