Fine Chocolates: Gold

The bible for chocolate makers. Not just a compilation of the earlier books, but a revision by the author.Chapter after chapter of basic technique and foundation recipes; and a large number of interesting and flavourful more advanced recipes.Written with the professional chef in mind, so some home cooks may find they don't have all the required ingredients; and the recipes talk as much about shelf life and similar issues as they do about technique.There are unfortunately some proofreading errors at various points - and the index has many omissions.

As a keen chocolatier this book was always on my wish list. When I bought the book I managed to pay £70 new and I thought that was a fair price considering prices elsewhere. Upon recipt of the book I have found lots of errors within the book. What I mean by this is spelling and wrong title and wording. I thought this book would have been proof read. Overall I didn't find this book very useful. Yes it looks nice but for the price I paid I don't think the book is justified.

If you are really serious about chocolate, look no further. There are so many amazing recipes for truffles, pralines and other chocolate delights. The book is not for beginners, and its price reflects the "professional" side of the book.

good book
