Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Did you know that the first chocolate was taken as a drink by the Aztecs, and that once the Spanish got hold of the recipe they kept the secret to themselves for over 100 years? Or that in the 17th century the clergy denounced drinking chocolate as "the beverage of Satan"?
This sparky little book in The Knowledge series takes one of the worlds best-loved foods and dissects the facts and fiction surrounding the discovery and development of a food that has the capacity to lift mood, make a statement and make grown-ups behave like small children if they are left to their own devices in a sweet shop.
Triffic Chocolate is a chocoholics dream: and we defy anyone to not head for the nearest chocolate machine as soon as they have finished reading it. --Susan Harrison
Product Description
The amazing history of the beautiful bean, from the Aztecs to Aero! The Aztecs sacrificed humans to their chocolate gods, and historical villains used it to poison people. Luckily, all you have to do is eat it! A tasty treat for every chocolate fiend.

This is a wicked book, it has all the history about chocolate. The facts may sound fake, but they are all true. Alan Macdonald has written a wonderful and funny guide about all types of chocolate. Did you know that the spanish found chocolate and it was fist only a drink. The English turned it into choco bars etc, but I wont tell you more, you'll have to buy it to find out!
