"Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy chocolate. Which is pretty much the same thing" - Hanako Ishii. What a wonderful quote for fans of chocolate, and this book is choc full of little bits of wisdom for those who appreciate the art of chocolate.This is definitely the "who/what/where/when" for chocolate fans and connoisseurs of this most delicious culinary delight. This book is a collection of fun facts about chocolate plus interesting tips on using this versatile ingredient to maximize your sweet treats. In addition there are simple and easy ways to use chocolate as a dip along with the proper methods in melting chocolate. Incredibly enough, there is a chapter on the "Health Benefits of Chocolate" which is an insightful and info packed section on things such as "Simple Suggestions on Using Raw Cacao" and here is a surprise, "Untreated cacao can be beneficial in the prevention of tooth decay." and the quotes are cool too, such as this one, “Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don’t need an appointment” ~ Catherine Aitken"All in all, Rachel Robins' "Chocolate Lovers: A Collection of Chocolate Quotes, Sayings and Scrumptious Chocolatey Facts" is a fun, entertaining and educational read, one that I thoroughly enjoyed! And besides, what's better than chocolate? Yes, this is one book geared for chocolate lovers.
