Naked Chocolate Review by Mary Ziolo
Naked Chocolate -- wow, what a title! Really makes you think…
Naked and chocolate - two words that evoke a multitude of images, and thoughts that flood the mind. Words like sublime, seduction, and decadence spring forth. All those wonderful things that were prohibited but were plainly innocent, good naked fun, simply having the best day ever - that's what it's all about.
We all share delightful childhood memories of smudging our hands and faces with this dark, creamy substance. Remember digging into the chocolate Easter bunny; devouring mini chocolate bars for Halloween; double fudge brownies; chocolate birthday cakes or chocolate pudding? All these recollections are associated with celebration and joyous occasions.
Discover the myths and legends from ancient civilizations surrounding chocolate. Did you know that cacao was utilized in shamanic rituals, and as money, by the Mayans? Others have regarded chocolate as a medical remedy.
Uncover the hidden alchemy within chocolate as the true spirit of cacao is exposed in Naked Chocolate. Dive into the cornucopia of possibilities for the best synergy with chocolate for endless creations with this food of the gods. Have you ever combined raw cacao with: maca, agave nectar, bee pollen, cashews or vanilla? Your lips will be smacking with tastebud delight as your heart sings with joy.
An endless symphony of natural chemical components lies within to be incorporated by our bodies and spirits. Find the extensive list in Naked Chocolate including magnesium, anti-oxidants, neurotransmitters, anandamide (the bliss chemical), and tryptophan.
Besides its reputation as a powerful aphrodisiac, Naked Chocolate has an entire section on "what to do with Cacao Beans" and sublime recipes. Talk about innovation! Besides the usual dessert applications, did you ever think of marrying chocolate with beets to create Beetroot Mousse? What about making Chili con Cacao, Chocolate Pizza or Chocolate Tortillas? I bet you never thought of those combos!
Tantalize your palate and libido with recipes such as Menage a Quatre, Deep Pecan Pies, Cacao Kapow, Sticky Hazelnut Clusters, or Fudge Reloaded.
Connect with the Magic and Consciousness that is raw chocolate.
Naked Chocolate is a fun book that will not only entertain you but also educate and inspire you to become a creative little chocolate devil! Enjoy!
