Essencial para quem ama chocolate, alimentação saudável, viagens, sustentabilidade, belos livros e claro, para quem trabalha com Cacau. Recomendo!

One of the most striking features of this beautifully bound hardcover book is the incredible photography, however it doesn't stop there. There is a personality to this volume that is very unique in that it describes a collaborative ethos that seems to pervade the Dandelion business model. Notwithstanding the frequent references to their own business, this never comes across as merely a self-serving giant marketing plug, these folks truly express an obvious love for craft chocolate manufacture and describe it in amazing detail, giving credit to those that came before them and others that they have engaged with who have also uplifted the industry.Liberally illustrating techniques, equipment and more, the photos not only clarify the point but are a visual feast (I know, I am repeating myself). Well structured chapters guide the reader methodically with no shortage of chocolate making wisdom. Process tips, pitfalls, tools and techniques are clearly described in a style that will make this an excellent ongoing reference for the new hobbyist or aspiring bean to bar manufacturer at the small to medium-large scale.I am seldom a fan of books that combine technical information with recipes, I cannot help but want to dive into making ALL of the delicious looking treats (it must be that amazing photography - yes I said it again).Rarely have I bought a book of this quality that offers such good value for money, I am delighted with this buy and while I can't compare it to other books on the market (being my first and currently only purchase related to entering this industry), I can see it becoming a routine go to. In an age where so much information is freely available on line, this book really holds its own.

A must have for all chocolate makers - especially those making from home .
