 Hello everyone and Thank you visiting my blog!


Do you like chocolate? 

I love chocolate! I'm interested in how chocolate was born and why chocolate is loved by many people around the world. Today, I would like to introduce a book called "THE TRUE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE". 


About the Authors

Sophie D. Coe, an anthropologist and food historian, was the author of American's First Cuisines.

Micheal D. Coe, Charles J. MacCurdy Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, Yale University, is the author of Royal Cities of the Ancient Maya, Mexico, Reading the Maya Glyphs and Final Report, all published by Thames & Hudson. 

When modern people think of chocolate, they think of it in its solid. Yet during nine tenths of its long history, chocolate was drunk, not eaten. 

This book tells us relationship of chocolate and ancient people. Also we know how role of chocolate has changed. If you are interested in history and chocolate, I really recommend to read it!

It explained the origin of chocolate in the chapter 1,2 and 3: how to grow cacao tree, how to enjoy chocolate ancient people and what walth the time cacao had.
