This review is from: Cooking With Chocolate and Coffee (Hardcover)
The best way to describe this cookbook is as an "ALL-IN-ONE, COMPREHENSIVE, COMPLETE REFERENCE GUIDE WITH HISTORICAL STORIES & DETAILED COLORFUL PICTURES THAT ACCOMPANY EVERY SINGLE DELECTABLE RECIPE THAT IS COMPRISED OF ALL THINGS RELATED TO COOKING WITH CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE"!!!
This book is actually 2 books in one. The first section is specifically catered to chocolate - the origins of chocolate, types of chocolate, historical facts & figures along with LOADS of recipes (candies, truffles, cakes, etc.). Then you dive into the second portion of the book with just as much information about coffee (beans, different coffee recipes, how to savor, etc.).
I mean, the author really did her research on this and seems as if she pretty much dedicated her entire life to teaching on these two favorite foods. Even if you never try a single recipe, buy the book for it's vast amount of information alone.
