This is a must-have book. Theo Chocolate's vision to pioneer an organically sourced bean-to-bar program is now a part of chocolate history. Not only is the company a shining example of sustainability, the quality of the chocolate they use is incredible--it is carefully sourced and the flavors are super pure. And now Theo is honoring us with the ability to recreate their wonders at home. --Maria Hines, chef/owner of Tilth, Agrodolce, and Golden Beetle restaurants I am a big fan of Theo chocolate. This company is setting the standards for sustainability in a world that desperately needs ethical agriculture. Every ounce of chocolate they make is guaranteed organic. Just as important, the company works to improve the health and well being of all those who are affected by the operation, including the animals and the environment. And this enchanting cookbook is evidence of Theo's other important mission--gratifying all of us chocolate lovers with ever more exquisitely delicious delights. --Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, and author of Seeds of Hope: Wisdom and Wonder from the World of Plants I am so excited to share this delightful book with my customers, friends, and family. Deb and Joe have done an incredible job of educating and inspiring readers by immersing them in their world of chocolate, from bean to bar and beyond. For those who haven't toured the factory, this book is a perfect close second to actually being there (too bad the paper isn't scratch and sniff!). A standout feature of the book is its inclusion of chocolate as a savory element in cooking, but all of the recipes are mouthwatering, versatile, and 100 percent from the heart, just as you'd expect from Theo. --Naomi Pomeroy, chef/owner of Beast and 2014 winner of the James Beard Award for Best Chef Northwest For a devoted cacao-lover like me, there are few pleasures greater than enjoying a simple square of rich, dark chocolate, but getting my hands on the Theo Chocolate cookbook is one of them! Their unique story and innovative mission, coupled with page after page of savory and sweet, drool-inducing recipes, will not only show you how versatile chocolate can be, but also that, if you dream big enough, chocolate really can help save the world! --Gail Simmons, food expert, TV personality, and author of Talking with My Mouth Full
