Chocolate: The Sweet History by Beth Kimmerle ($39.95, Collectors Press) will appeal to those who believe that chocolate inhabits a special place in ones realm of indulgences. (This may explain the many, many chocolate books that cross our desk.) This scrapbook-style history of the native American treat includes reproductions of old advertisements, a chocolate historical timeline, glossary of terminology and a handful of classic recipes. We can’t imagine dipping into this book without a bar of Scharffen Berger 70 percent bittersweet at hand. |
