Extreme Chocolate Reading...
This week I read a great article about chocolate in the New Yorker magazine (Oct 29, 2007 issue, p. 68). This piece, titled (Notes from a Gastronome) "Extreme Chocolate" is by Bill Buford; and it focuses on Dagoba founder, Frederick Schilling.

The author also takes you, dear readers, deep into the jungles of South America to talk about how beans are grown, harvested, fermented, and eventually poured into chocolate molds somewhere else in the world. Some interesting history about families in this business as well.
