The Art of Chocolate

This is not just a book of masterful recipes, tips, techniques, and meticulously detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. It is an extravagant paean to decadent desserts. Filled with luscious creations and lavish artistry --Chocolate Swan Truffles, Enchanted Forest Torte, and a Mexican Chocolate Box to die for -- this definitive guide to working with chocolate is unusual because it is written with beginners in mind. Above and beyond the traditional cookbook, The Art of Chocolate, is a book to savor and cherish.
