Customer Reviews

Wow - amazing book!
I really enjoyed this book and was amazed at the detailed information that is available about raw chocolate. Who knew that there was a major difference between raw healthy chocolate and the unheathy mass produced stuff you find in every shop and spermarket around. The recipes are easy to follow,taste fantastic and best of all - they are insanely good for your health. At last information on a way to eat chocolate and improve your health.

Calling all chocoholic mums
This book is a must for chocoholic mums. Amazing facts and health properties to the food that we all thought was bad for our families or to be eaten in small quantities as a treat, can now be eaten in abundance. My family now enjoys raw chocolate as a healthy superfood. The recipes are really easy to follow and the ingredients including all the amazing health benefits for all superfoods including cacoa nibs, maca powder and goji berries and are all easy to find in the UK using this very comprehensive book.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story...
I gave this book 2 stars for the recipes only. The authors sound like they were on magic mushrooms when they wrote the text however. Its full of bizarre statements and wild claims like "Chocolate saves us from the ravages of pessimism by its truly ridiculous nature. Chocolate saves the planet through absurd comedy".
And frankly, I found it almost offensive that they listed anorexia amongst the multitude of things supposedly symptomatic of maganesium deficiency. I had a friend who nearly died of anorexia and to suggest a little cacao would've changed her anorexia (or asthma, or ADHD etc etc) is irresponsible.
So. Good recipes, somewhat interesting read. If psuedo-science doesn't bother you and you're already into raw or vegan eating you'll probably like this book. Otherwise, save your money.
