The Haigh's Book of Chocolate

Rating:
Summary: Not just a recipe book.
Review: This book covers the history of chocolate from a drink to a confection from South America to the world, the making of chocolate and the enjoyment of chocolate while telling the story of the Haighs family. Even though Haighs is an Adelaide institution and not well known elsewhere, the book will appeal to everyone interested in why and how things are well done. The book is thorough and informative while at the same time refreshingling entertaining. The handful of recipes are carefully chosen to highlight the best in their field and do not dominate the text. One of the few books on the subject not to refer to chocolate lovers as 'chocoholics'. What a relief!
