Laugh-Out-Loud Funny, With Substance! August 11, 2008
Julie presents scientific and historical research on chocolate in a clever, funny, and entertaining way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and learned far more than I expected to about the health properties of chocolate. Antioxidents, blood sugar control, neurotransmitters, amino acids, -- all this and more. I had heard chocolate was good for me and this entertaining book explained why and how, while I laughed along the way.
The Joy of (Dark) Chocolate May 19, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Julie Pech has compiled an informative, enjoyable and useful book on the history of dark chocolate and its medicinal purposes. Prescriptions for ailments from anemia to stress all have chocolate as their base. What a way to get well without side effects! Don't skip the sections on how to buy and eat chocolate. I was amazed at what I didn't know and what I've been missing out on. Recipes, resources and recommendations all make The Chocolate Therapist: Chocolate Remedies for a World of Ailments the perfect gift to include with each and every box of the dark delectable fruit (yes, chocolate is in the fruit family) you give from now on.
I'm going to the dark side! March 8, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
As an admitted chocoholic I found The Chocolate Therapist to be a fun and practical guide to "proper chocolate consumption". My chocolate guilt was lifted as I read with enthusiasm all of the wonderful benefits that dark chocolate has to offer. Ms. Pech really did her research and uses a light hearted approach to pass it on. I especially enjoyed her section entitled "Going to the Dark Side". It definitely eased my transition from milk to dark chocolate.
Chocolate IS Magic! February 25, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I loved the information, and how easy it was to understand the science behind why good chocolate is good for us. Julie's writing style is very warm and friendly, and she has a great sense of humour and down-to-earth approach about her subject. This book plus some good quality dark chocolate makes a great, inexpensive but wickedly indulgent gift for almost anyone. Her research helped me understand why a little good chocolate every day IS good for us, and now I don't crave the sugar-filled cheap stuff.
