Customer Reviews:Clarissa Jacques (Friday, 21 July 2006)Rating:  A masterpiece which exudes pure dedication and love by the authors for their passion - raw foods! As the title implies, this book focuses on the miracles of raw cacao or what us novices term 'Naked Chocolate'. What was once seen as a sin is now proven to be a virtuous act! But there is a hitch...consumation must be in the pure raw form and believe me, there is no sacrifice here. If you have not already tried raw cacao then a wonderous experience awaits you and I highly suggest this book should accompany you on this journey. No stone has been left unturned in the production of this book. The benefits of cacao bean will undoubtedly intice you into trying many if not all the superb recipes contained within this beautifully presented book. |
