Chocolate - A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light by Mort Rosenblum is a great book I have been reading. I'm only a few chapters in, but it is full of interesting insights to the bittersweet world. I just finished a whole chapter on the history of mole. There is a chapter on Claudio and Valrhona coming up.
Chocolate fun fact from book: Cacoa contains phenylethylamine, a molecule produced in the hypothalamus that triggers the same giddy warm glow one feels when a lover enters the rooms. Therefore - sans lover, try chocolate.
Absolutely! They say many women prefer chocolate to sex. It definitely does something to our hormones.
