Explore real chocolate (infused with fruits, herbs, and spices), Mediterranean-style, heart-healthy recipes, plus home remedies that combat everything from acne to anxiety. Youll also discover rejuvenating beauty and anti-aging spa treatments--all made with antioxidant-rich chocolate!
Can dark chocolate boost brain power? This book shows you how regular intake of antioxidant-rich cacao foods is likely to do just that, and more.

Acknowledgments
I would love to thank the wonderful people who sent me on a seven-day chocolate cruise to the Mediterranean, where I visited Cannes, Florence, Naples, and Palermo, experiencing the choice chocolate shops in Europe, including the vintage shop in Rome called Confetteria Moriondo e Gariglio. But the truth is, I didnt go on a sweet sojourn like that one.
However, I can honestly tell you that because of some of the amazing chocolate makers and chocolatiers, chefs, and spa staff from Reno, Nevada; San Francisco; Vermont; and New York City, the chocolate world gave me a taste of European chocolate, one way or another. They fed my chocolate fantasies beyond belief, and it affected me from head to toe.
Sure, I truly do want to go to Europe, especially Italy and France, and savor fine chocolate and hot cocoa amid an old-world ambiance. But the timing hasnt been right. As I wrote this book, every day for many months, someone connected to the chocolate world made my day a little bit sweeter. It was like Christmas every time the UPS man delivered another box of chocolate surprises on my doorstep.
I am grateful to each and every one of you, from the bottom of my heart, because I can now share what you gave to me with people from all walks of life in America and around the globe. I am touched by your knowledge of chocolate, from bean to bar, your passion for health and indulgence, and your generosity. Your diverse efforts gave me the energy and confidence to educate others on how quality chocolatethe fruit of the cocoa plantcan help feed the body, mind, and spirit.
I also wish to acknowledge my intelligent and sensitive cat, Kerouac, and two fun-loving, comforting Brittanys, Simon and Seth, who give me the same mood-boosting, feel-good endorphins that chocolate does. During the research and writing of this book with a European twist, I learned that my pets (a trio with French roots) help me to chill, fight heart disease, stay happy and active, and provide comfort and companionship. But, most important, I discovered that each of them is like fine chocolatea constant friend for life.
Last but not least, I wish to thank the staff at Kensington for giving me this memorable assignment. While it was challenging to write a health book on chocolate (and maintain a size 4!), the total rewardsfrom the scented chocolate Jacuzzi bubble bath to tasting my first prestige French trufflemade up for the ups and downs during the creation of this book. Thank you for sending me to Chocolate Heavena dream come true. Grazie and merci .
