    Beskrivning

    As seen on The Today Show!The world’s leading chocolate taster shares his wild ride to attain the most envied job, and explains his warning heard around the world: that we might soon run out of chocolate.Angus Kennedy, dubbed “the real life Willy Wonka,” has the best job of all time, tasting candy for a living. But the journey to his sweet life has followed a rocky road. In this inspiring, smile inducing memoir, he shares how despite an alcoholic mother, a father dying of cancer, and multiple brushes with death, he rose to fame and became the king of cocoa. He also gives a fascinating tour of the little-known chocolate industry and answers such questions as: what the state of the cocoa bean is and if we’re going to run out of chocolate, is chocolate good for you, and how to know if you’re eating high-quality chocolate.Doused in Kennedy’s signature humor and wit, this unforgettable memoir is a tale of dysfunction, but also redemption. It is baked to perfection for lovers of great chocolate and great stories, and reveals the secrets of the chocolate world and its king, the bitter and the sweet.

    Mer om författaren

    Angus Kennedy is the world’s leading expert on chocolate and has been dubbed by the media as the “real life Willy Wonka.” Kennedy is the owner of Kennedy’s Confection, a chocolate review magazine his family has owned for forty years, and the founder of the World Chocolate Forum, the world’s largest chocolate industry conference. He’s been a guest on a variety of TV and radio programs, including Fox, NBC, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Hallmark, and Bloomberg TV, and featured in a wealth of print and digital media. Kennedy’s provocative assertion in 2011 that the world might be running out of chocolate received international media coverage and was a source of much concern by chocolate lovers around the world. He is a father of five and lives with his family in Kent, England.

    Recensioner i media

    “Chocolate in any form is highly addictive, usually worth the extra calories and loved by most people on the planet. About 90 percent of Americans even say it’s their favorite flavor. 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. Miller, chocolate industry researcher, and Professor of Entrepreneurship, University of Southern California“It wasn't always easy, but Angus took lemons and made them into lemonade—no, took beans and made them into chocolate. . . . A sommelier of chocolate.”—Debbie Matenopoulos, Hallmark Home & Family
