“Chemically
speaking, chocolate really is the world’s perfect food.”
— Michael Levine, nutrition researcher, as quoted in
The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey
and Mars
Is there any food as
rich, smooth, and complex as chocolate? There are few foods that
people feel so passionate about, so it comes as no surprise that
chocolate is the world’s favorite baking ingredient.
In 125 BEST
CHOCOLATE RECIPES, Julie Hasson, baker and chocolate lover
extraordinaire, brings together her love of chocolate with
superb recipes. All the recipes celebrate chocolate and range
from the traditional to the sophisticated. Here are just some of
the oh-so-tempting recipes: Chocolate Espresso Cake,
Chocolate Devils (mini cakes filled with a fluffy vanilla
filling and topped with a decadent chocolate glaze), Baklava
with Walnuts, Chocolate and Honey Syrup, Chocolate
Macaroon Bars, White Chocolate Key Lime Pie, and
Chocolate Dipped Fruit Skewers.
Not only are Julie’s
recipes decadently delicious, but they are easy to follow and
work to perfection every time. And, as always, she provides a
wealth of baking tips and techniques as well as information on
recommended tools and equipment. She also offers interesting
information on all the different types of chocolate available
today — from the chocolate purchased at your local grocer to
Italian-made Amedei Procelana, perhaps the world’s most
expensive chocolate at US$90 a pound.
Whether you are a
chocolate fanatic or simply love to cook and bake with
chocolate, this cookbook is sure to become a favorite. |
