Product Description
Luxurious chocolate and exquisite recipes, this is an irresistible chocolate cookbook from the UK's best-loved organic chocolate makers, Green & Black's, winner of "Best Chocolate Book in the World" at the 2003 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.
Chocolate is the food of the gods, full of flavour and sensation, infused with decadence and delight. This book is filled with over 100 divine recipes to tease, tempt and torment lovers of this sensuous substance.
Cocoa contains over 400 flavour compounds, making it one of the most versatile cooking ingredients, and it can be moulded to suit every mood, from rich, dark desserts to the perfect companion for savoury dishes. There are recipes for cakes and puddings (marquise au chocolat, chocolate-lemon tart) as well as more unusual dishes like chicken molé, chocolate coffee lamb and langoustines with a hint of chocolate.
Woven into the book are stories about the history of chocolate, its myths and legends as well as fascinating detail about the cultivation and production of organic chocolate. With stunning recipe and location photography, Green & Black's is a veritable feast for all the senses.
