The Chocolate Guide: To Local Chocolatiers, Chocolate Makers, Boutiques, Patisseries and Shops - Eastern Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What frustrates me most about this book is that it's a real good idea that was poorly executed. It is poorly organized and much of the information is incomplete.
Don't expect to find contact information (e.g., phone numbers or web site addresses) for any but a small handful of featured companies. Instead, be prepared to spend some time on-line looking this information up.
Why?
It's also not clear why some companies are not only featured but are treated to multiple-page spreads of useless pictures. The room wasted on those pictures would have been more than enough to accommodate all of the information that is missing that should be there.
Notwithstanding these objections, the book does contain a list of lots of different chocolatiers and chocolate makers you should probably know about - if you like chocolate. However, the editors and publishers seem to have gone out of their way to make it difficult to use the information they do provide.

Chocolate isn t just a guilty pleasure anymore. New research into its health benefits, and the emergence of single-origin and varietal chocolate, have lent the luscious sweet a cachet equaled only by fine wine. And as interest in fine chocolate grows, chocolate tours are also increasingly popular. For chocoholics who travel regionally or locally or just from an armchair, this book is the ultimate East Coast tour, featuring spots from mom-and-pop stores to upscale chocolateries. Abundant photos, informative profiles of chocolatiers and shops, and tips on local chocolate information make this the ultimate book on regional chocolate. The Chocolate Guide is essential reading for anyone looking for a new chocolate experience: this includes chocolate lovers (of course) but also food writers, journalists, and gift-givers looking for unique presents for their favorite cacao connoisseur. Beautifully designed and illustrated as either a coffee-table book or a travel and dining companion.
