As seen on The Today Show! The worlds 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 were going to run out of chocolate, is chocolate good for you, and how to know if youre eating high-quality chocolate. Doused in Kennedys 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.

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 its their favorite flavor. But what goes into creating that delicious treat? The worlds 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 lemonadeno, took beans and made them into chocolate. . . . A sommelier of chocolate. Debbie Matenopoulos, Hallmark Home & Family
