Book Description

Publication Date: September 12, 2006

All the rich delights of chocolate captured in one volume of decadence.

Only chocolate is so rich, smooth and satisfying for so many of us. Whether bittersweet, semisweet, milk or white, there is a chocolate for everyone to love. Square or chip, grated or melted, the world's favorite baking ingredient is chocolate.

300 Best Chocolate Recipes is an outstanding collection of chocolate recipes originally published in two books, 125 Best Chocolate Chip Recipes and 125 Best Chocolate Recipes. This delicious array of recipes ranges from the traditional to the sophisticated, and from the simple to the challenging.

Featuring incredibly creative and luscious recipes for everything from cakes, cookies, pies, breads, puddings, bars, squares and muffins to hot and cold beverages and sauces, these are fail-safe recipes for a baker with any level of experience. Here is a sampling:

• Chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons
• Raspberry chocolate chip cookies
• High-octane espresso chip morning muffins
• Chocolate mousse cake
• Double chocolate cheesecake ice cream.

Every recipe is easy to follow -- and works to perfection every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, creative & approachable chocolate recipes for all, May 3, 2009

This review is from: 300 Best Chocolate Recipes (Paperback)

I came across Julie's book while researching recipes for my wine & chocolate pairing classes. Not only is it a unique and comprehensive collection of creative recipes, but it's also filled with practical information that's a value to everyone. The beauty of this particular book is that you don't have to be an accomplished Swiss chef to apply the recipes, but even if you were, your imagine would still be stretched. Cheers to Julie for her outside-the-chocolate-box contribution to recipe possibilities. Fortunately my research was accomplished as well--I found quite a number of her culinary concoctions perfect for pairing with wines!

This review is from: 300 Best Chocolate Recipes (Paperback)

I bought this book right when it came out and thought it was going to be just another dessert cookbook. Boy was I wrong. Every recipe is delicious and fun to make. Throw away those brownie boxes, the Double Fudge Espresso Brownie recipe is not only fast to make but easy. With bulk shopping, I always have ingredients on hand to make a dessert at the last minute. Looking for a crowd pleaser? Try the Porte Torte. It is decedent and classy. Yes, I have many dessert cookbooks, but this is the only one I pull out.
