Chocolatology

Chocolatology explores the fascinating world of chocolate, starting from its origins and penetrating both the pre-colonial and sometimes bloody colonial history of cocoa. The book comprehensively examines the chocolate industry and its development over the centuries. It also focuses on trade initiatives and suppliers striving to improve the living conditions of cocoa farmers and their workers.

Where does chocolate come from? What is it good for? What scientific studies (reliable and not so reliable) have been conducted on it? And how can you incorporate it into every meal of the day? Angel York and Darin Wick take you into the world of chocolate, guiding you through the history, stories and uses of this delicious product.

Chocolatology offers the average cook countless ways to incorporate this special ingredient into everyday dishes, while also helping the curious food scientist further, exploring the process of sourcing beans, making chocolate yourself and enjoying chocolate recipes from the 17th century. Unlike many other books on chocolate, this book offers a balanced, evidence-based overview of the health and nutritional value of cocoa. Chocolatology also looks closely at the chocolate industry and its history, and introduces readers to various trade initiatives and suppliers working to improve the lives of cocoa farmers and their workers.

Angel and Darin began thinking about chocolate together in 2010 while visiting the chocolate section of their local cooperative, where they spent several hours pondering ways to make information about the food supply chain more accessible.
