5.0 out of 5 stars I feel better!, May 25, 2006

By	Rita (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

Yum! The first recipe I made from this book was the Instant Gratification Chocolate Parfait...one bite and I was sold on chocolate as therapy. The 15 minute Stress Buster recipes are right up my alley, and the Killer Brownies and Sinful Celebration Cake were beyond divine. The great quotes and chocolate trivia in the book are entertaining to read and the recipes are within reach of the casual cook, yet will fulfill any chocoholic's dream. I've given this book to several chocolate-loving people as a gift.

Chocolate Therapy is just what the title says. Lots of unique and delicious recipes. The book is full of really interesting facts and quotations about chocolate. I copied down many of the recipes before I gave it to my daughter-in-law for Christmas.
