Chocolate Magazine


Came across this magazine at the local back date magazine shop.

It seems very much like a British version of Chocolatier Magazine. I don't know how many issues they published. This is the first one, dated April 1999, and might very well be the only one.

It's got all the standard stuff you'd expect the first issue of a chololate magazine to have; chocolate history, how it goes from bean to bar, and an overview of chocolate themed books.

As short lived as it might have been, it's still a fine publication. Really nice production with bright photos on high-quality paper. The chocolate tasting runs four pages and has some nice objective comments from multiple tastings on a wide variety of (mostly European) chocolate bars.

Their domain at http://chocolate-magazine.co.uk has been taken over by squaters but the editor Arthur Martin is still making the rounds.
