"Since he founded the company, Joe Whinney has dedicated his passion for chocolate, sustainability, and economic justice to the mission of Theo Chocolate, the first bean-to-bar maker of organic, Fair Trade, fair for life, and non-GMO-certified chocolate in North America. Debra Music took a 3,000-mile leap of faith and moved to Seattle from the northeast to assist in the launch of Theo Chocolate. Since then, she s helped Theo become one of the fastest growing brands in its category by using authentic storytelling to demonstrate the intersection of artisan chocolate making and sustainable, ethical business practices."
Debra may have written the book in a mere 9 months, but Theo
reflects many years of recipe imagination and experimentation. If
you try the recipes in this book, you will be pleased and
surprised. Your only dilemma is where to start.
--Huffington Post If there's one cookbook that every
self-respecting Seattleite should have in their kitchen, it's the
new book from Theo Chocolate, the award-winning, bean-to-bar
chocolate maker and all round Seattle treasure.
--Seattle Refined This cookbook serves as both a prize for
chocolate-lovers and a window into what motivates Theo from bean to
bar. The cookbook isn't just full of chocolaty sweets, chocolate is
bitter and its subtle sweetness brings depth to savory recipes. But
the last section of the cookbook is for the truest chocolate-lover
and offers redemption for my past chocolate failures --
confections. They even have a cheat for couverture that doesn't
require all that finicky tempering. [A] great gift to give to a
chocolate-loving friend or loved one.
--Everett Herald This is a cookbook for the serious chocoholic.
Packed with mouthwatering color photos, tidbits about the origin of
each recipe and helpful technique tips, Theo Chocolate is a love
letter to the humble cocoa bean and a tribute to the authors' work
together.
--Shelf Awareness Theo Chocolate is a rare breed: dedication,
deliciousness, and daring have met and the results are spectacular!
This is essentially a guide book to the nuances of the luxurious
cacao and its ability to grace your table from appetizers to
dessert.
--Tom Douglas, Restaurateur, Tom Douglas Restaurants 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!"
