This book is a comprehensive guide of the ingredients, theories, techniques, recipes, and formulas needed to create every kind of chocolate and confection. It’s aimed at both professional and amateur chocolate and confection makers. For in Chocolat it is love, and not faith, which ultimately holds the key to salvation. Reynaud fears love (and pleasure, which he equates with sin), whereas Vianne embraces it and encourages its free expression. Because of her love for her daughter Vianne must try to exorcize her past; Reynaud is condemned to relive it in sterile isolation. But no-one in this story is beyond redemption; Vianne and Reynaud are both forced to confront their demons in the end, and I like to think that they both learn something about themselves in the process, and are both able at last to rejoin the human race.Printable Gift Box Vintage Books / book club gifts / chocolate box / bookish / book shelf / gift box / kit DIY / mini book box To begin with lets dive into a world of pure imagination, as goes the famous line from the 1971 adaptation of “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” originally written by much loved author Roald Dahl.

Personalized Embroidery Felt Bookmarks | Letters Handmade Corner Bookmark | 4 Season Letter & Flower Felt Bookmark Set Michael Coe and his late wife Sophie take you on a 3,000 years history of chocolate, starting in the Mexican jungles and ending in the industrialization of chocolate through Europe and the USA. A fascinating read on the Quaker families who founded some of the largest chocolate companies in the world; including the likes of Rowntree, Fry, and Cadbury. Written by a member of the original Cadbury family, this book looks at how the greed for profit altered the course of the chocolate industry. As Kristy Leissle shows, the true story of chocolate bars is much darker than you might think. Behind every chocolate bar we unwrap, there’s a world of political intrigue and power struggles over the most crucial component: cocoa. Simran Sethi’s book goes into the origin and cultural significance of some of our most beloved foods, including chocolate. She examines gradual loss of diversity that’s occurred over the last decades and centuries in the foods that we eat. We highly recommend this book for anyone with a passion for food and taste.Lastly I wanted to write about magic. Not the popular view, but about the magic of everyday things and the way something quite ordinary can, given the right circumstances, take on extraordinary properties. Vianne’s belief in the supernatural seems dangerous, even sinister, to Reynaud. And yet it is her very human qualities – her understanding and her kindness to others – which make her what she is. She does nothing which could not be achieved by purely ordinary means. Her magic, working as it does through simple pleasures, is accessible to everyone. If she is a witch, as Reynaud believes, then so is anyone else with similar values. We live in a world which is becoming increasingly complicated around us; we are bombarded with mixed messages and impossible targets from the media; like Reynaud we have learned to demonize pleasure and to be afraid of our feelings. Chocolat was my reaction against that; a plea for tolerance of others but also of ourselves, a reminder that to be fallible is both natural and allowed; that self-indulgence isn’t always bad; that testing people to destruction isn’t the way to make them better people. Chocolat begins with the arrival in a tiny French village of Vianne Rocher, a single mother with a young daughter, on Shrove Tuesday. As the inhabitants of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes clear away the remains of the carnival which heralds the beginning of Lent, Vianne moves with her daughter into a disused bakery facing the church, where Francis Reynaud, the young and opinionated curé of the parish, watches her arrival with disapproval and suspicion. I also wanted to write about people, and about how the arrival of a single individual can affect the internal politics of a community. My books often focus on small communities and the interaction between their inhabitants. The smaller the group, the more dramatic the consequences when someone introduces change. Lansquenet is not a real place, though it is closely based on a little town I know well and I have tried to make it as authentic as I can. It could be anywhere. The rivalries and jealousies of people are almost the same wherever you go. Miniature Birds Book | Real Text & Pictures | 1/4, 1/6 or 1/12 Scale | Educational Book | Dolls House Miniatures
