"Nine of every ten persons say they love chocolate. The tenth lies." Starting with a quote from revered gourmand Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, Rosenblum sets the tone for his in-depth study of a worldwide passion. Few things produce as visceral a response as chocolate. The smell, texture, and deep glossy color, not to mention the taste, have bewitched humans for millennia. From chocolate's beginnings as a sacred elixir in ancient cultures to its current status as a sensual and oh-so-necessary indulgence, Rosenblum reveals all that a true chocoholic could ever want to know about this sublime substance.
