But what goes into creating that delicious treat? The world’s leading chocolate taster, Angus Kennedy reveals all the details.”—Parade“The chocolate industry is fascinating, nuanced, and culturally important. And only a couple people have ever managed to stand at the center of it. Angus Kennedy is one, having literally spent his entire life dedicated to almost every aspect of chocolate. Here he compellingly shares his expertise and insights. It's a read every bit as worthwhile as the chocolate itself.”—Justin I.
