Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hershey, Pennsylvania, is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. It is home to the largest chocolate manufacturing facility in North America, where three to five million pounds of treats are made each day. The town of Hershey–where the smell of chocolate fills the air and whimsical reminders of chocolate products can be seen all around–is a place built on the legacy of one man, Milton Hershey, and his passion for cacao bean-based confections.
The Hershey, Pennsylvania Cookbook is packed with recipes, fun facts, trivia, and history about the town of Hershey and its founder. Through vintage photos and more than 120 recipes, author Marilyn Odesser-Torpey presents the Hershey of yesteryear and celebrates a love for chocolate that has been passed down through generations and resonates in traditions from after-school snacks to picnics to major holidays. Each chapter serves as a guide to the town, and combined they tell you how it grew from one man’s dream to a world-renowned destination. Recipes from current and former residents and area chefs allow you to take guilty pleasure in traditional desserts, kid-friendly snacks, savory dinner entrees, chocolate-based adult beverages, and even creative crafts.
