Customer Reviews

I HEART this chocolate guide!

This book covers the map, litterally. Anywhere in the world they have chocolate, Chantal Coady has been there and tasted them and here she gives your her astute biased opinion with pictures of the maker's actual chocolate bonbons. Does it get better than this? You can learn a lot from the little guide and come out way ahead on your chocolate connoiseurship.

For The Love Of Chocolate

If you love chocolate - and I do love chocolate - then this book is a must have!!! It highlights the finest chocolates from around the world!!! It includes addresses, phone numbers and histories of the most reknowned chocolatiers!!! And if I never have the opportunity to taste some of these chocolates in this life - at least I'll have the chance to sample them through the savory descriptions in the 'tasting notes' - not quite the same - but delicious in it's own right!!!

a must for any chocolatier

Visually, this book is outsanding. It shows very traditional european chocolates and some of the more modern american chocolates. it has a brief history of chocolate and chocolate production, which is very informative.
