La Dolce Vita [Paperback]

Isabel Coe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2007

Isabel Coe’s La Dolce Vita is a rich and engaging narrative, the story of a family expressed through their shared and continuing love of chocolate. Often remarkable anecdotes are intertwined with sumptuous chocolate recipes passed down through four generations of women. Whether it’s her great grandmother Omama’s nutty Weinacht Guezi or her grandmother Nonna’s Crema di Castagne, her mother’s rich, rum-laced Chocolate Mousse or Isabel’s own extravagant Saffron-infused Mendiants with Crushed Pepper and Edible Gold Leaf, there is something in the alchemy of grating, melting, and mixing chocolate that sets it apart from all other forms of cooking. An unrivaled pleasure, La Dolce Vita is the perfect book to give as a gift or to keep for oneself.
