Synopsis

Are you craving chocolate? Go ahead, give in! Cacao--raw chocolate--often referred to as "food of the gods" is high in antioxidants. It is also an excellent source of magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, and copper. A good source of omega-6 fatty acids and rich in heart-healthy oleic acids, it will boost your mood, improve cognition and help lessen stress! Sounds too good to be true. But it isn't, as author Matt Ruscigno explains, this hot superfood has powerful benefits. Then Matt gives you what you really want-recipes for chocolate! Superfoods for Life, Cacao contains 75 recipes for sweet and savory cacao recipes--from main dishes to desserts--including Huitlacoche-Chocolate Empanadas, Cocoa Buffalo Tempura Vegetables, Dolmathes with Currant-Chocolate Rice and Cacao Tzatziki.

Media Reviews

If you find yourself craving chocolate, this is the book to have on hand, as it's packed with lots of chocolaty goodness. - ChicVegan.com


The coolest thing I like about their book is that it's not marketed as a vegan cookbook. I LOVE SNEAKY VEGAN ACTIVISM! It's actually part of a series of superfoods cookbooks, some of which are not vegan. It's a great gift for omni friends or family members who are into chocolate and/or into superfoods and health! - Vegansaurus.com
