Willie’s Chocolate Bible

Willie Harcourt-Cooze grew up on a windswept island off the west coast of Ireland where a childhood spent making cheese, smoking fish and pickling fruit inspired his enduring passion for food and adventure. After travelling in Asia and South America, it was in Venezuela that Willie discovered his lifetime passion for chocolate, bought a hacienda and planted 10,000 cacao trees. His first book, Willie's Chocolate Factory Cookbook, was published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2009. He lives with his wife Tania and their three children in Devon and makes chocolate from bean to bar.
