There’s a difference between a chocoholic and a chocophile,
and Clay Gordon is decidedly in the latter category. It’s
not enough for him to simply love this rich indulgence; he
is equally addicted to the finer points of choosing it, just
as a wine aficionado enjoys researching different varietals
and developing a taste for particularly fine ones. In Discover Chocolate, Gordon opens a world that extends far
beyond cookbooks and coffee-table books that feature
assorted gooey shots. Yes, his primer is packed with more
than a hundred gorgeous photographs of chocolate and
truffles, but this is a guide that also includes a handy
rating system, a field guide for discerning among different
types and styles of chocolates, an overview of how cacao
becomes chocolate (including maps of where cacao is grown),
advice for pairing chocolate and wine, and, perhaps most
important of all, how and where to shop for the best
chocolate in the world. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, and Clay Gordon
is there to help you relish every drop of it, discerning why
you like certain types but not others and generating a
personal list of favorites. This is the book every true
chocolate enthusiast has been craving.
