PRAISE FOR THE SERIES

‘Makes a great gift for the food-lovingest reader or the book-lovingest cook in your life’ New York Times

‘Has established itself as the backbone of the food history section’ Bookseller

‘These are food memoirs, salacious and exotic, colourful, powdered, sweet, greasy and globe-trotting’ Chicago Tribune

'Outstanding' Wall Street Journal

Chocolate cake, fudge brownies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate truffle boxes, steaming cups of hot cocoa … Chocolate is synonymous with indulgence, filling dessert menus and millions of hearts with ecstasy all over the world. Since Spanish explorers first encountered the magical cocoa beans in sixteenth-century South America, it has cast its spell at a global level, becoming an addictive and powerful force to be reckoned with.

In Chocolate, Sarah Moss and Alec Badenoch guide readers through the remarkable evolution of this near-universal obsession. They trace its roots from the earliest Spanish accounts of how the Aztecs and Mayans used chocolate in sacrificial rituals and as currency, to Linnaeus proclaiming the cocoa tree as the ‘food of the gods’, not to mention its enduring reputation as a potent aphrodisiac.

Readers are invited to dive into a delectable, wondrous journey through the cobbled lanes of history, witnessing culture and commerce take shape in captivating full-colour photographs as *Chocolate *reveals the irresistible mystique of the world’s most beloved sweet.

Alexander Badenoch is Assistant Professor in Media and Cultural studies at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Sarah Moss is Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at University College Dublin’s School of English, Drama and Film in the Republic of Ireland. She has published six novels as well as a number of non-fiction works. Her work has been nominated three times for the Wellcome Book Prize.
