This is a wonderful book. ATK always delivers. There are pictures of every recipe. I made the chocolate pound cake on p.149. It's a food processor cake and it's not to sweet, but the next time I make it I will add some walnuts on top. It came together very quickly and easily. Instead of using a large loaf pan i cooked in mini loafs. I added chocolate chips on top of the version I made. What I would have liked, is more cake recipes and recipes also in grams . But at least they offered ounces. I think a section on "white chocolate" would have been nice as well. So I do think the book could have offered a little more than it did. But overall I'm very pleased with the book.-A.L.W
I'm all about chocolate. So the whole concept of this book really appealed to me. It has a nice selection of recipes. I've tried a few recipes so far and my favorite is The ultimate chocolate cupcakes. They are meant to have a ganache filling But I've made them multiple times and the ganache still absorbs into the cupcake. Either way it is one tasty cupcake! The next recipe I have to try is the chocolate shortbread!-SWEEMARIE
I love chocolate, so I was excited when ATK came out with a cookbook featuring one of my favorite every foods. this follows the basic format of ATK recipes: why this recipe works, list of ingredients, instructions. This has pictures of the recipes, plus technique pictures like how to coat/dip chocolate So many great recipes and tips are in here, including a cheater's Couverture chocolate , which is very very expensive. It has a thin texture making it perfect for dipping, but ATK gives a recipe for a combination of white chocolate and chocolate that really works and costs a lot less.The beginning talks and explains about different chocolates and when to use them. Cocoa that is dutched or unprocessed, how to store it, what is bloom. Just a bunch of good information. -bECKIE
