Head follows chocolate from the cacao tree and its cultivation through the Aztec and Spanish history, the arrival of the drink in England and the coffee-house rivalry, and then the nineteenth-century factories — the roasting, winnowing, pressing and grinding that turned a luxury into a grocery.

The whole story of chocolate, told with Edwardian enthusiasm. Download the free EPUB.
