BOOKS Little Of Chocolat, 1 EA Hardcover – March 13, 2014

Love the recipes! ❤️

one of my favorite authors now. wonderful recipes and fun to make some of the dishes in here.

Just delightful.....full of recipes from "Chocolat" including the best ever hot chocolate recipe.A definite must for all chocoholics!

I was expecting more from this book. I came across it by chance in a supermarket and then bought it through Amazon as the connection with the film was quite interesting. The photos are beautiful but I found many of the recipes a bit simplistic, not because they are simple as I love that but because many are just versions of existing recipes with a little twist. So far I have only read it from cover to cover and although I am sure that I will get some enjoyment out of it as I said I was expecting something more original!I have a few questions though… Should one eat the orange in the middle of the Conquistador Orange Pudding or is it only there for the flavour and is discarded in the end? I have come across a recipe with a lemon a little while ago but again I didn’t understand whether one serves the lemon with a slice of the pudding or one just throws it away. I also didn’t understand the introductory text to the Aztec Gold. The recipe is about the well-known orange peel dipped in chocolate but the author says that she likes to leave the peel intact while Fran likes to remove it. How can one remove the peel from the peel….. I guess that there is something I am missing here….All in all the connection with the film Chocolat is a very interesting one and I am sure that I will end with some recipes that add to my repertoire! Measurements only in metric!!!!!

Love this little book. Every time I make a treat using these recipes, I remember the film 'Chocolat' and enjoy the decadence of its luxurious temptations. Well-presented, recipes are easy to follow, and really tasty!

Nach den ersten beiden Kochbüchern von Harris und Warde, weiß man, dass man nicht zu viel erwarten darf: Hier erwartet einen normalerweise bodenständige Küche, schnelle Gerichte für den Alltag, nichts Ausgefallenes oder Aufwändiges.In diesem Buch ist das nicht anders: Die Rezepte sind nicht aufwändig, aber schon vielfältig.Es sind ausschließlich süße Rezepte mit Schokolade.Sehr schön Fotos, oft kleine Stillleben von Philip Webb begleiten jedes Rezept.Auf dem Vorsatzpapier findet man ein Stillleben mit den beiden vorhergehenden Kochcbüchern und Harris "Food Trilogy" (die Chocolat-Reihe, Blackberry Wine und Five Quarters).Die Rezepte sind nur zum Teil an Figuren aus ihren Romanen angelehnt.Es finden sich altbekannte Rezepte für Chocolate Chip Cookies neben neuen wie dem Haselnuss-Schoko-Aufstrich oder der Conquistadore-Orange (s. Foto bei amazon).Dann gibt es mehrere Schokokuchen und -torten, aber auch Eis, Mousse, heiße Schokolade, Trüffel und Kekse.Für ein kleines Schokoladenfest ist alles vorhanden! ;-)Hin und wieder gibt es eine kleine Einführung von Harris zur Verbindung des Gerichtes mit ihren Büchern oder ihrer Familiengeschichte.Am Anfang steht eine Einführung von Harris über das Schreiben der Chocolat-Reihe und Geschenke von Fans sowie von Warde zum richtigen Umgang mit Schokolade bei der Zubereitung.Für Fans schöner Fotos, Fans von Harris "Food-Büchern" oder einfach Schokosüchtige sicher das richtige Buch.Wer allerdings schon mehrere Bücher mit Schokorezepten besitzt und die o.g. Interessen nicht teilt, wird sicher nicht übermäßig viel Neues finden.

I love this book almost as much as I loved the film. The styling of the book and the photos used are so gorgeous. The recipes are a real treat and easy to follow. I also love Joanne Harris' little anecdotes and notes throughout the book too.

I was expecting cake and biscuit recipes but was delighted to find there are recipes for hot chocolate and sweets too. These are mainly recipes for adults although there are some for children, including a wonderful chocolate chip cookie recipe. If you've read Joanne Harris's novels, you'll recognise recipes for things her characters make, eat and drink in the novels, including 'Spiced nipples of Venus'. Naughty!

I have all of Joanne Harris books plus the cookery books and cant recommend them highly enough. I read this book in one sitting, now to do some baking! Would make an ideal gift for all chocolate loving fans out there.
