Rosenblum follows the chocolate trail, cooking up mole poblano - chili-laced chicken with chocolate - under a Mexican volcano; visiting plantations during an African rebellion; helping French master chocolatiers make palets d'or - bite-size, gold-flecked bricks of dark chocolate. He probes the empires of Hershey and Godiva, and the closed-door realm of Valrhona. He watches at each step as humble cacao pods on spindly trees in dank jungles end up as creamy mousse au chocolat. He meets with buyers and tasters in the United States and across Europe to discover the diverse trends, demands, and traditions of chocolate lovers. And, along the way, he investigates the bitter fights and rivalries - the dark side of the chocolate trade."--BOOK JACKET.

Add a CommentI love chocolate, the darker, the richer the better but I almost gave it up after I read this book. I wondered if the human suffering perpetrated upon small cocoa farmers by the multinational buyers and producers would make it impossible for me to eat it again. Now I only buy fair trade.
