Cocoa has inspired the most extraordinary recipes around the world, but its remote origins date back to ancient times in the New World where it was sed both an accompaniment and as the main event in any number of meals. Following the Columbian Exchange, cocoa would go on to have one of the most unforeseen and endurable cultural impacts in the Western world.

Within only a few years it went from being the preferred drink of the indigenous elites to become the glorious centrepiece at the banquets of European monarchs. Cocoa and chocolate’s association to refinement, indulgence, and decadence still resonates today and even at its most mundane, as a supermarket chocolate bar, many of us still regard it as a blissful mouthful of joy. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise really, after all, cocoa’s introduction in Europe was marked by the sign of exoticism, luxury and pleasure, and as such, it was embraced by Spanish, French, and English courts among many others. Curiosity became a fascination and quickly turned into an obsession.
