SUMMARY: This series presents chocolate history including small-scale manufacturing and the factory process. Features a flowchart of the process from farmer to consumer. The strongest part of this book is the details of the process of making chocolate including all the machines that are used:
Roasting Machine, Mechanical Sieve, Hydraulic Press, Grinder, Scales. Conch, Melting Tank, Tempering Machine, Molding Machine, Molds, Conveyor Belt, Cooling Tunnel, Trays & Shelves
NOTE: Includes a simple recipe for Hot Chocolate (page 30)
I plan to include this title in the Science/Technology section of Learning with Chocolate (A Homeschool Curriculum for the Whole Family).
