(Will readers forgive me for posting about another old book, when it's CHOCOLATE?)
Book Review: Hershey’s Cocoa Cookbook
Author: Hershey Chocolate company employees
Date: 1979
Publisher: Hershey Chocolate Company
ISBN: none
Length: 96 pages
Quote: “Hershey’s Cocoa is pure chocolate with about three-quarters of the cocoa butter removed.”
The good news about this little recipe book is also the bad news. Hershey’s Cocoa isn’t sweet at all. It’s bitter, in a way that can be pleasant in savory dishes. In some ethnic cooking traditions small amounts of cocoa and chocolate are used as bitter spices.
There is not one recipe like that in this book. It’s just one sweet dish after another, and let’s just say that, if you save the sugary chocolate desserts for birthday parties, the Hershey’s Cocoa Cookbook will allow most people to try a different recipe for every party to which they bring a dish in their lifetimes.
