This book is well written and the recipes are well tested. It makes a beautiful gift for anyone who loves chocolate.The book is OK, the recipes seem to be good (I haven’t tried any yet), but there’s a lack of photographs…
I think they are very important in cook books!!I am very happy with this book. I want to work more with presentation, and make my product more eye-appealing. The instructions in this book are pretty clear. However I, like another reviewer, would have liked to have seen more pictures of the completed project. I am still very happy with this book.This book takes you to new heights in learning how to create with chocolate. There has always been a great love of chocolate by all people. Ms. Gonzalez helps us all love it more.I tried The Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook, a compilation by Juliet Cobb and ever since then, a great Chocoholic. As some ingredients were not available in town, I grabbed this book ‘Art of Chocolates: Techniques & Recipes from a friend. The books says in detail:
Start to Finish –
Ingredients and Tools
Melting and Tempering Chocolate
Spectacular Chocolate Confections
Chocolate Magic Tricks
Spectacular Chocolate Gifts
Spectacular Chocolate Cakes and Desserts
Basic Cakes, Fillings, Frostings, and Sauces
Easier to go through step by step with simple Instructions. The magic tricks are great I like most because once you make a chocolate, the appear has to be cool. So here’s a mould,chocolate plates, bowls, boxes, cups, leaves, bows, flowers, tree bark various cutouts.Chocolate baskets, decorated boxes and various tricks is sure catchy. Of coz, some ingredients fall short in India, there’s always some substitutes to use and I find it much easier to try my hand on one or two recipe but yeah, reading is cool n the taste touches the sweet tooth jes seeing the pics. A good pick. read more.
