Daring decadence. From the simple cocoa pod, Giller demonstrates how to transform a small bean into an array of chocolate heavenly delights. Giller provides a complete history of chocolate, along with a geographical guide to explain the different beans and processes they undergo to bring out different flavors and aromas. I enjoyed that Giller did not only focus on chocolate recipes but also included pairings of what tea, coffee and food would suit each type of chocolate best.
