Review ------ "As a longtime evangelist for the maker community, Dandelion's love of the process (so deceptively simple!) exemplifies the maker culture that I so dearly love. "--Adam Savage, Former co-host of Mythbusters and editor-in-chief of Tested.com "Dandelion chocolate has stood out in the new crop of bean-to-bar chocolate makers in America. And while the chocolate bars are exceptional, equally exciting is the way chocolate is used in their café, deliciously crafted into cakes, brownies, and cookies, as well as blended into one of the best cups of hot chocolate I've ever had."--David Lebovitz, Author, My Paris Kitchen and The Great Book of Chocolate "Dandelion Chocolate is one of the few bean to bar producers I know with the curiosity, intelligence, seriousness, and frankly, passionate geekery needed to make extraordinary chocolate."--Francisco Migoya, Head Chef, Modernist Cuisine "Dandelion is shaping the world of craft chocolate."--Chloe Doutre-Roussel.

Making Chocolate will inspire a whole new army of chocolate geeks- of the making, eating and baking varieties."--Emily Luchetti, Dean, International Culinary Center and James Beard Foundation Award-winning pastry chef "Making Chocolate thoroughly investigates some of the history, the manufacturing, and the sourcing of cacao.
