When I first came upon this website, I thought that it's another recipe book giving out its version of the Food for the Gods. Well I haven't eaten that yet--I might've but just didn't know it--but I know that it uses a lot of chocolate.Venezuela, as we all know, is a majorproducer of cacao beans, which are used to make chocolate.
