Review
A chocaholic won't find much missing in this chocolatey selection of recipes: icecream, biscuits, cakes and mousses as expected but macaroons, sorbets, brulees and bread too. Deliciously photographed to get the taste buds tingling, these are not for the diet-conscious. Cream, chocolate, fruit, chocolate, nuts, chocolate....a cocoa addicts's dream and an an ideal small gift for those with a sweet tooth. - Lucy Watson
