The Chocolate Connoisseur
As you all must know by now, I'm a chocolate-addict! It's a major food group, for me. I stumbled across this book last summer, in a quaint little bookstore in NH. Now, while I do adore chocolate, I have to admit that I'm certainly not a connoisseur. This book, however, definitely increased my knowledge of chocolate.
The author, a chocolate buyer for a prestigious London department store Fortnum & Mason, shares her chocolate passion and educates the reader to everything and all things chocolate. She gives us a through history of chocolate, shares her favorite brands, and teaches us how to tell the difference between "good" and "bad" chocolate, and how to "taste" chocolate which is strikingly similar to tasting wine.
This book will make a perfect gift to your favorite chocolate lover this Valentines' Day. Just be sure to stop and pick up some "good" chocolate to pair with it.

Your mention of chocolate made me think of my town's local gourmet chocolatier: http://www.elbowchocolates.com/ (a friend of mine did his website). They have exquisite chocolates and the price really isn't too bad. |

Does this mean that you won't be picking up a Hersey bar in line at the store any more? Why do they put that darn stuff there anyway? Wouldn't our waist lines be better off if they put produce there instead? |
