John Croft

Chocolate is not a dirty word, and I've spent over 14 years proving it.

I'm John Croft, an Australian cacao educator living in Italy, and I'm passionate about showing people how delicious healthy chocolate can be. Through weekly classes in countries around the world, I've taught thousands of people how to turn raw cacao and superfoods into wholesome treats that nourish the body instead of working against it.

My recipe books bring that same hands-on approach into your kitchen. Each recipe combines cacao with superfood additions, food-grade essential oils and simple, wholesome ingredients, so every bite is packed with flavour, energy and vitality.

I'm not a purist. I believe life is all about balance, and that healthy eating should feel like a pleasure, not a punishment. If you love chocolate but want to feel good about what you're eating, my books were written for you.

Whether you're looking for clean-eating dessert ideas, plant-based superfood recipes, or simply want to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your health, my books offer the ultimate blueprint.

My books are available worldwide in both English and Italian.
