“I opened the jar. Guy's xocolatl smells of the ground after a short, hot fall of rain; of spices ground by hand in the dirt; of perfumes known to me only from stories. Here was vanilla, silphium, cardamom, ginger, and saffron. Here was cassia, star anise, fennel, mace and turmeric. But here too were stories of the great chocolate kings: Montezuma, Moctezuma, Itzcoatl, and Tizoc.” — Joanne Harris
