			        		Chocophiles will sigh in anticipation of glimpsing the dreamy dark desserts pictured in this sleekly illustrated work. Captured in shades of cocoa chiaroscuro to deep espresso are easy-to-make standards such as chocolate pots de creme and chocolate mousse. But the ultimate pleasure of chocolate for chef Desaulniers ( The Trellis Cookbook ) lies in the layering of flavors. The richest, most decadent desserts involve melding flavors of hazelnut, pistachio, pecans, espresso, raspberry, rum, brandy and other ingredients--even humble peanut butter--with chocolate. Chapters are organized by degree of obsession, from &quot;Singular Sensations&quot; and &quot;Simply Chocolate&quot; to the final chapter, &quot;Chocolate Dementia.&quot; Yet one doesn&apos;t have to be crazed to tackle these recipes. Desaulniers shows, in simple steps (right down to the equipment list), how to murder one&apos;s diet with a dose of &quot;Chocolate Demise,&quot; &quot;Chocolate Devastation&quot; or &quot;Double Mocha Madness.&quot; Clear instructions, exquisite color photographs, the author&apos;s refreshing sense of humor and his gentility in acknowledging contributions from other pastry chefs combine to elevate this cookbook over many others specializing in chocolate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I might be drooling on the pages a bit...

    I remember wanting this cookbook many years ago when it first came out, but it was too expensive for me at that time.  It is a lovely layout with a picture of every recipe.  Not the kind of dessert for a weekday meal, but would be great for special occasions.  Fun just to look at the pictures.

    Yummy!

    This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks that contains one of my most frequently used recipes (Chocolate Honey Almond Crunch, a frequent present and hostess gift). I decided I wanted to give a copy to a friend and was so glad I was able to find one. The condition of the book I received was excellent.I'm a fan of Desaulniers. I enjoyed his restaurant, The Trellis, when I lived in Virginia, and I've enjoyed his television shows. He's an artist in the kitchen, with chocolate in particular. The recipes in this book that I've made have been scrumptious. Some are a little complex but that's something that I enjoy in a baking project. There are some simpler ones as well.The book itself is lovely, with large, beautiful photographs and a well-designed layout. I've heard people complain that it's not more hefty. I actually appreciate that it's not a tome. It seems to realize its intentions very well.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Graduated difficulty of recipes a big plus
  

*by L***I on October 30, 2000*









  
  
    I really liked that this book was broken up into sections that went from really easy to really, really hard, so you could pick a section and start with something you were comfortable doing and then working up to the harder and longer recipes.  I thought that that was a real organizational bonus to what is a really nice cookbook.The beginning recipes were very doable, and I'm starting in on the harder ones.  It's fun to drool over the seven element creation, but much more fun to tackle and easily do (given all the techniques they teach in the book) the most incredibly chocolate cookies I've ever attempted or eaten.
