About the Book

Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of chocolate. Never again confuse your Olmecs with your Aztecs, your xocoatl with your cacao, or your conching with your blooming. More importantly know the names of which chocolate makers and chocolatiers to drop into conversation to underline your choc-credentials. Bask in the admiration of your fellow chocolate aficionados as you pronounce confidently on the provenance of the bean in your bar, why you prefer a criollo to a forastero or a trinitario, and why the world's finest chocolate is a 'cold-worked' authentic Aztec-influenced mix from Modica.

About the Author :
Neil Davey is a freelance writer and blogger specialising in things you can do sitting down such as eating, drinking, travelling, watching films, savouring chocolate, interviewing famous people and playing games. He writes (or has written) for The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, Square Mile, Square Meal, delicious, Sainsbury's Magazine, Saga Magazine, MSN, Yahoo and Hello. He is also the author of food blogspot 'The Lambshank Redemption' and can be found tweeting at @DineHard.

Review :
'The Bluffer's Guides present the means to apparent instant erudition without actually having to know or study anything.' THE DAILY MAIL 'An amazing amount of solid fact disguised as frivolous observation.' THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'A series which threatens to undermine the proper foundations of knowledge.' TODAY 'If anybody's going to help you become an expert on chocolate, it's Neil Davey. He's eaten far more of the stuff than even I have, and has spent those extra calories writing about it in an informative and hugely entertaining way.' -- Simon Majumdar Author and Broadcaster 'Fluent in coffee and articulate on wine, but don't know your Ghanaian from Grenadian? Help is at hand. Soon you'll be saying, "Ah, the unmistakeable, cold-worked granularity of the finest Modican" with the best of 'em.' -- Marina O'Loughlin Restaurant Critic, THE GUARDIAN 'I love this pocket guide to one of my favourite ingredients - chocolate. Enjoy!' -- Eric Lanlard Master Patissier and Chocolatier 'Neil Davey's entertaining book will help you know your conching from your tempering and give you just enough of the backstory to bandy about as you peel back the foil - if you happen to find yourself in a room full of chocolate experts. And even if that scenario is unlikely, it's a thoroughly enjoyable read.' -- Karen Barnes Editor, DELICIOUS MAGAZINE 'Armed with this book, you can stick two chocolate fingers up to any dinner party bore.' Nick Harman, Editor, FOODEPEDIA
