Great Moments in Chocolate History: A Fantastic Gift for Sweet History Lovers

Great Moments in Chocolate History is a beautiful 208-page book that is part history, part cookbook. The story begins in the 1500s, in the Aztec empire, from where all great chocolate history originated! You’ll get a history lesson about Columbus’ arrival in the “New World” and his “discovery” of the cacao bean, then continue the journey as chocolate spread from the New World to the Old and back again!

Once we reach present day, Great Moments in Chocolate History switches over to a recipe collection, with 23 delicious chocolate concoctions. Learn how to make Chocolate Macarons, the Easiest Chocolate Layer Cake (with chocolate frosting), and even Chocolate Peanut Empanadas! The history lessons don’t end when the cookbook begins: each recipe gives you a brief origination story. You’ll also get tips for more successful execution.
