Chocolate Chocolate (Hardbound)

Chocolate Chocolate Book Description

For as long as I can remember, the flavor of chocolate has been an obsession, a craving, a calling. Who would turn down an enormous cookie, all buttery and chewy, touched with brown sugar and stubby with chips or chunks of chocolate?

Chocolate is an elemental flavor. In a compelling way, its presence draws you into a recipe and, at a pivotal moment, into dessert.

When chocolate is combined with familiar baking staples, something miraculous happens: what you pull from the oven is irresistible, darkly alluring, astonishing.

In its every essence and form, when it's chocolate, it dazzles and enchants.

And isn't that divine?
Deep, dark, and fudgy. Moist and luxurious. Seductively rich.

For award-winning author Lisa Yockelson, chocolate has long been an obsession, a craving, a calling. Now she fulfills the calling in "ChocolateChocolate," a dream cookbook that blends how-to information and more than 200 sublime recipes with a delicious collection of chocolate essays and reminiscences.

"ChocolateChocolate" reveals baking with chocolate as a sweet and simple art, one that is both rewarding and accessible. The book's unique "baking diary" format arranges chapters by theme, reflecting Yockelson's fresh and personal approach to baking. From comforting Brownie Style favorites to dashing Double Chocolate and Mudslide confections, temptation beckons from every page.

The book can be used in several ways - to find a recipe for a sweet that's just packed with chocolate, to learn how chocolate behaves in the baking process, to gather information on the various types and uses of chocolate, and, of course, to simply rejoice in what surely must be the most luxurious of all flavors.
