Summary

In this cookbook, professional nutritional consultant and wellness instructor Victoria Laine provides information on the health benefits of chocolate and 40 quick and easy delicious chocolate recipes that are good for your health. The recipes are free of the added refined sugars, harmful fats, and processed ingredients that are found in most chocolate, and which turn chocolate into junk food. The cocoa bean, which is the fundamental ingredient of chocolate, is packed with healthy nutrients. In the forward to the book, John Robbins, author of the best-selling books Healthy at 100, The Food Revolution, and Diet for a New America, states, "It may surprise you to learn that chocolate is actually good for you. But it's true." Each recipe in the book is illustrated with a mouthwatering colour photograph.
