DANSK CHOKOLADEMAGER UDGIVER SPÆNDENDE BOG OM KAKAO OG CHOKOLADEOm Bogen "Chokolade er..." ”Chokolade er…” er en bog der giver læserne på det danske marked helt ny indsigt i hvordan chokolade bliver til. Bogen er skrevet af Henrik Bodholdt, der er både økologisk kakaobonde og chokolademager og som har boet de sidste 20 år i det mellemamerikanske land Costa Rica. I bogen beskrives med stor detaljerigdom hvordan hverdagen i en økologisk og bæredygtigt dyrket chokoladeskov udspiller sig; dyre- og planteliv, høst-, fermenterings- og tørringsprocesser, glæderne og sorgerne og alt sammen illustreret med flotte farvefotos og med interaktive QR-koder, der linker til referencer, videoer og merviden, der gør læseoplevelsen interaktiv og bringer læseren så tæt på kakaoproduktionen at man næsten kan ane duftene og smagene… Bogen er på 172 gennemillustrerede sider og koster 249,- d.kr. Bogen har kapitler der, ud over selve kakao- og chokoladeproduktionen, også beskriver kakaoens temmelig grumme historie som menneskeføde – der indgår både missioneren, slavehandel og ublu ingredienser – og kigger også kort på de stadige udfordringer chokoladeindustrien har (og som der pt. skrives en del omkring i de danske medier. se f.eks. følgende artikel af Henriks Bodholdt: https://pov.international/slavekakao/) ved at skabe troværdige bæredygtige levevilkår for de mennesker, der lever på især Afrikas kakaofarme. Desuden indeholder bogen et kapitel, der beskriver kakaoens betydning og anvendelse hos de oprindelige folkeslag, der stadig lever af og med kakaoen i Mellemamerika. Afslutningsvis indeholder bogen desuden, som noget helt nyt på det danske marked, et fyldigt gør-det-selv-kapitel. En velbeskrevet og grundig guide til produktion af egen chokolade. Hjemme ved køkkenbordet. Kapitlet har desuden et medfølgende videolink, som grundigt illustrerer processen og som dermed giver læseren mulighed for selv at give sig i kast med chokolademageriet. Bogen afspejler den større trend, der igennem det sidste årti har præget den internationale chokoladescene, hvor et større og større antal mindre chokoladeproducenter producerer gourmetchokolade til det kræsne publikum, med både smags-, holdnings- og klimabevidsthed. Ligesom det f.eks. er sket indenfor øl- og kaffebranchen. Vi har endnu til gode at se trenden virkelig slå igennem på det danske marked, der stadig i overvejende grad domineres af den masseproducerede chokolade med masser af tilsætningsstoffer. Om forfatteren Henrik Bodholdt debuterer som forfatter med ”Chokolade er…”. Han er 54 år, født og opvokset på Københavns Vestegn og har igennem de sidste 20 år været bosiddende i Costa Rica Han er selvlært entreprenør, har været gennem Hærens Specialskoles afhøringsofficersuddannelse og har hvad der svarer til en bachelorgrad i russisk og har bl.a. boet i Moskva i 91-92 som Area Manager for Egmont Publishing. Han har været formand for Dansk Backgammon Forbund, han har spillet poker på ret højt niveau, været frontløber indenfor Next Stop-bevægelsen og for små ti år siden kastede han sig over chokolademageriet efter et skelsættende møde med den oprindelige kakaoforarbejdning hos det oprindelige folkeslag Bribri i junglen i Costa Rica. Det var så at sige kærlighed ved første duft . Lige siden har han, i hvert fald ifølge hans egen søn, haft ”un corazon de chocolate” - et hjerte af chokolade. Henrik er direktør og daglig leder af firmaet Maleku Chocolate, der også har en dansk webshop, der leverer bæredygtigt produceret økologisk chokolade til den kræsne og bevidste del af det danske chokoladepublikum. https://malekuchocolate.dk

Chavela Vargas fue, qué duda cabe, una de las voces más conmovedoras del último siglo. La intérprete inigualable de clásicos como “La llorona” era el secreto guardado de México, hasta que en sus últimos años le llegó el reconocimiento mundial.Lo suyo fue vivir intensamente. Tuvo una infancia dura. Encontró su escape en el canto de boleros y rancheras. Conoció grandes amores, incluido aquel con Frida Kahlo. Cayó en el pozo del alcoholismo, y finalmente pudo salir. Armó sociedades musicales que brillaron en conciertos épicos. Por el filo de la tristeza con la picardía, embargada por sentimientos tremendos: así vivía, así cantaba Chavela.

This edited collection provides a comprehensive and locally situated understanding of English language teaching from the perspective of dedicated and experienced language professionals and researchers in Costa Rica.The book uses a series of reflective sections that interconnect theory and practice in a non-English-dominant context in order to inform and transform pedagogical practices. The chapters depict a wide-ranging image of English language teaching and learning in the region, encouraging in-service teachers, TESOL specialists, and ELT scholars to critically reassess, rethink, and relearn teaching and learning as more than a political decision in an educational curriculum.Ultimately promoting the practice as dynamic, ever-changing, and culturally situated, the book will be highly relevant to researchers, academics, scholars, and faculty in the fields of teacher education, educational research, EFL, and modern foreign languages.

med korslagte arme
og rødmer under blikke
fra de sværmende feer
