Indulgence: One Man’s Selfless Search for the Best Chocolate in the World
Indulgence: One Man’s Selfless Search for the Best Chocolate in the World
From Willy Wonka to Ferrero Rocher, chocolate is embedded in our culture as perhaps no other foodstuff. And although it has been swooned over endlessly in print, Indulgence takes the subject to entirely new realms. In a pleasurable mélange of travel narrative, historical writing, and literary gastronomy, Paul Richardson discovers a substance that still has much to say about the joys and agonies of our human debt to pleasure. In this whimsical chronicle of one of mankind’s ruling passions, he concludes that chocolate has lost none of its mysterious capacity to bewitch.

Chocolate: The Nature of Indulgence
Chocolate: The Nature of Indulgence
This book contains everything about chocolate except recipes – its rainforest origins, its cultural and religious significance in pre-Columbian America, and its journey from post-Conquest Mexico to Europe and back to America, where chocolate remains as popular as it became after the Spanish-born queen of France introduced it to the French court in 1615. We learn how cacao is grown and processed, how chocolate is used to flavor everything from Tootsie Rolls to hand-made works of art that melt in your mouth. The author provides a light-hearted history of chocolate’s contribution to the world of medicine, as well as its role in the history of slavery and war and a fascinating analysis of the chocolate industry.
