Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I flipped through this book for quite a while before I finally decided I had to have it. I'm a pastry chef and probably own 50+ chocolate specialty books -- I am now a proud owner of this one as well. The book just looks cool. I'll admit, I was suckered into it just because of the shiny gold cover. Each page edge is coated in a gold leaf that just makes the book feel rich. The recipes are all accompanied by full color photos, which is so important. I am always more tempted to cook things if I can see a photo first.
And the other thing I love is that most of the recipes utilize typical household ingredients that you should have in your pantry. Of course there are a few specialty ingredients here and there, but it's not like you'll be spending loads of money on ingredients to cook these recipes.
The book is very clearly organized into categories, consisting of Cookies, Bars & Brownies, Muffins & Cupcakes, pastries, elegant desserts, Pies & Tarts, Puddings & Creams, Tea & Coffee Cakes, Layer Cakes, Candy, Savory Dishes, Drinks, and Basic Recipes.
I would definitely recommend this to the chocoholic in your life, or dessert addict. I've already cooked quite a few of the recipes and have a bunch more bookmarked for future dates. Happy Baking!
