The True History of Chocolate
- Thames & Hudson
- by Coe Coe
The book begins 3,000 years ago in the Mexican jungles and goes on to investigate everything about chocolate - its archaeology, history, botany and even socio-economics. Used as currency and traded by the Aztecs; chocolate arrived in Europe via the Spanish conquistadors, and soon became a favourite drink with aristocrats. By the 19th century, chocolate had lost its mystique, with industrialization making chocolate a food for the masses - until its promotion in our own time as a luxury item.
