Description
From Bean to Bar tells the story of the people and the places that have turned Britain into a world leader in artisan chocolate making. Along the way, author Andrew Baker explores the nation’s great chocolate hotspots, taking the reader on a journey through Britain’s chocolate making history.
The book delves into some of our favourite and very own chocolate makers, including Mancunian Dormouse Chocolates, Cleethorpes-based Duffy’s, Chocolarder from Cornwall, to name a few.
The book is filled with facts about Britain’s chocolate history and industry, advice on where to find the chocolates (if not through Cocoa Runners), and also how to become a bean-to-bar maker.
