Chocolate is both an industry and a sensation.
HERMAN A. BERLINER, forward, Chocolate: Food of the Gods
More than any other food, chocolate delights and enchants ... chocolate tantalizes and it comforts. Chocolate has soothed fretful children and welcomed tired travelers; mountain climbers have saved their last piece of chocolate to celebrate reaching new heights; suitors have given chocolate to show the depth of their devotion. Chocolate has been used as a stimulant, an aphrodisiac, and [even] a form of currency.
NEVA BEACH, The Ghirardelli Chocolate Cookbook
Chocolate is food from the gods; it's energy, vitality, oneness.
MURRAY LANGHAM, Chocolate Therapy
Chocolate making is an art as well as a science, and chocolate makers keep secret the roasting temperatures used, the time given to "conching", and the exact proportions of their formulations, which is why no two manufacturers' chocolates taste the same.
LORI LONGBOTHAM, Luscious Chocolate Desserts
Chocolate knows no boundaries; speaks all languages; comes in all sizes; is woven through many cultures and disciplines ... it impacts mood, health, and economics, and it is a part of our lives from early childhood through the elderly years.
HERMAN A. BERLINER, forward, Chocolate: Food of the Gods
Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
The tantalizing aroma of chocolate involves more than three hundred chemical compounds and the flavor can have more than five hundred components.
LORI LONGBOTHAM, Luscious Chocolate Desserts
In my dreams I gorge on chocolates, I roll in chocolates, and their texture is not brittle but soft as flesh, like a thousand mouths on my body, devouring me in fluttering small bites. To die beneath their tender gluttony seems the culmination of every temptation I have ever known.
Like love, chocolate is always a delight to receive or to give.
MARY JANE FINSAND, The Diabetic Chocolate Cookbook
