  First published in the late nineteenth century, The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma cacao) and Its Products is a thorough and fascinating examination of one of the world’s most important—and beloved—plants. 
  Beginning with cacao’s origins in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and its rapid spread through Europe, this work traces chocolate’s journey from indigenous drink to global commodity. It explores the botany of the cacao tree in careful detail, explaining its growth, flowering, pod-bearing habits, and the conditions required for successful cultivation. The book then follows cacao from harvest through fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding, offering a clear account of how raw beans are transformed into chocolate and cocoa. 
  Blending science with industry, the text examines the chemical composition of cacao—including cocoa butter, starches, proteins, minerals, and theobromine—while addressing purity, quality, and digestibility. It argues for chocolate’s value not merely as a luxury, but as a genuine and nourishing food. The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections. 
  Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate.

  The history and use of New Zealand's native plants 
    
  A guide and gift book in equal measure, this treasure of a book pays homage to New Zealand's native plant species. 
  The Meaning of Trees tells the story of plants and people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings, paintings and photographs, it shows us how a globally unique flora has been used for food, medicine, shelter, spirituality and science. From Jurassic giants to botanical oddballs - these are our wonderful native and endemic plants, in an exquisite hardback edition. 
  Praise for The Meaning of Trees: 
  'Robert Vennell makes wandering through our bush seem like a visit to a giant shopping centre. Over there is the kawakawa store, offering everything from an aphrodisiac to a gonorrhoea cure. Next door is the tutu cafe, where you can enjoy delicious wine or a refreshing laxative (though the seeds are deadly). On the top floor is the matai bar, where the berries aren't to everyone's taste, but the bushman's beer is great. And round the corner is the miro health centre. Every plant has a story and the result is delightfully informative.'
