  When you read about what I got up to you’re going to say I got what I deserved. You’re right—I totally agree. Many of you won't like me no doubt and that’s ok—I understand, I really do. I’m not all bad though.I left the Isle of Skye in the early eighties to begin my nursing course in Edinburgh and it's fair to say I embraced the Capitals temptations with arms wide open. When I moved into a shared flat I met Bill, a musician, and got involved with his band Low Down, you know, helping them out, doing a bit of driving and humping gear about - it was great fun. Low Down were truly phenomenal. Man, I totally loved their music. We took drugs, I mean, I took drugs. Nothing heavy, just recreational-like.I met a lot of girls who I didn’t treat right and I’m not proud of my behaviour—honest. Nursing is a female-dominated profession and male nurses were thin on the ground. The opportunities for getting up to mischief were many. I worked hard and played harder.A lot of stuff I regret now. Especially what I did to Lisa – and others. Anyway, it couldn’t last, could it? The way I was living – something had to give.And it did.

  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.
