"Green and Black's" Chocolate Recipes: from the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses Moles: From the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses and Moles -

I borrowed this book from my Mum and am very reluctant to return it! It is beautifully presented with lovely big pictures of many of the recipes interspersed with information and more pictures about the chocolate production process. THe recipes are all mouthwateringly good each with an introduction on its background.

There are many common dishes such as chocolate mousse, ice cream and florentines but they are balanced with a mix of more unusual dishes both sweet and savoury from around the world. So far I have made chocolate and salted caramel tart (who'd think a teaspoon of salt could taste so wonderful?!), italian venison agrodolce (sweet & sour - try it, your taste buds will thank you!) and white chocolate cardamom mousse and they have all been stunning.

In fact, I think it's about time Mum got her book back so she can have a go - I'm going to order my own copy right now!

This book is absolutly fantastic! Great recipes, all the ones i've made have been lovely! My two favorites are Chocolate Stollen and Chocolate truffles (the truffles definetly hit the spot). A brilliant buy if you love chocolate and a wonderful gift!

Excellent if you love chocolate! (5/5 people found this helpful)

I have used a few recipies from this book. They're relitively easy as long as you have everything prepared so you can move between stages quickly. They work every time and look almost as good as the pictures! The chocolate brownie recipe is the best I've ever tasted, I substitute the cherries with chocolate chunks. There are all sorts of recipies for any occasion, including starters, main courses and desserts! The only downside is that some of the best recipes are quite expensive to make as they require a lot (usually around 300g) of good quality chocolate and cream etc., but always ingredients you can get at your local supermarket.

BUY IT!

For anyone who loves chocolate this cookbook is an absolute delight. Featuring a good cross section of recipes ranging from old time classics, children's favourites, to the more unusual - there is something in here for every chocoholic.The recipes are laid out in a clear and simple way, indicating the cooking times and level of difficulty involved. Even the more elaborate dishes are explained with such clarity one needn't be a great cook to make the dishes successful.

My personal favourites include: Chocolate Coffee & Walnut Cake, Maya Gold & Pumpkin Bread, and the delightful Clementine Cake which stays beautifully moist for days (if it lasts that long!)For the more adventurous, there are ample exotic and challenging recipes in this book that are certain to cause a bit of a stir. Having worked my way through most of the book - not a single recipe has been a disappointment, and with the sumptuous photography, this book is a real winner!

I could not agree more with the other reviews. A beautiful book in its own right. I bought it as a 'gift' in the end I kept it for myself. The recipes are well laid out, easy to follow and beautifully illustrated. The only problem is working out which recipe to do first! I am now buying more books for my mum and friends. Enjoy!!
