A recent book review in the June 30, 2008 issue of C & E News looked at one of my favorite foods – Chocolate. The article reviews the second edition of Stephen P. Beckett’s book The Science of Chocolate. Just imagine a whole book devoted to the science of chocolate.
This past summer I was the “mad scientist” for my wife’s vacation bible school where the theme was Rain Forest Adventure and one of the things that I talked about were foods that were found in the Amazon Rain Forest including chocolate. As I prepared for my “show and tell” I realized just how little I knew about the production of chocolate. Maybe reading his book will do the trick.
Will someone please tell my wife to add this book to my Christmas list. ISBN: 978-0-85404-970-7.
Thanks,
