The chocolate lover’s bible, packed with full-colour photographs, illustrations, graphs, and charts that unpack everything from understanding cacao to making the world's best brownie.

There's so much more to chocolate than meets the eye. Or our tastebuds. The World of Chocolate covers it all, dark, milk, white, and more. Expertly written and chockful of photographs and illustrations, it uncovers the extraordinary journey of one of the world's favourite foods.

Exploring every part of the chocolate story—from agriculture to history and science to archaeology, and taking the reader through the forests and fields of the cacao belt, visiting the growers and craft makers who are shaping chocolate's future—it gives readers a rich and lively new understanding of not only how the amazingly complex ingredient called chocolate came to be, but also how to identify, buy, taste, pair, and bake with chocolate like a pro.

About the Author

Giselle Weybrecht set out to find the world's best hot chocolate and never stopped. That quest coincided with her work embedding sustainability into education, for which she earned a UN Pioneer Award. As a chocolate maker, baker, certified taster, and judge, she travels the world speaking, researching, and sparking conversations about chocolate and sustainability. Her work has been featured in the Financial Times, Forbes, and Gourmet Traveller.
