All About Chocolate: Eating Chocolate







Cooking with Chocolate

Chocolate has won fame worldwide as both a savory flavoring and a sweet seasoning. Over the centuries, many cultures have incorporated chocolate into their traditional recipes.

In the Americas and Europe, chocolate reigns as a popular ingredient in main dishes, side courses, desserts, and drinks.

But in Asia, chocolate’s appeal is not as widespread because of national taste preferences. And in Africa, cacao remains an important national export, too valuable for general consumption. (However, chocolate’s popularity is growing gradually in both of these regions of the world.)
