Everything Chocolate

This Recipe Collection Covers It All—in Chocolate

Everything Chocolate is the definitive guide to the world’s most universally loved (and craved) food. Its in-depth front matter will teach you how different chocolates melt, how they’ll affect the texture of your baked goods, and how they’ll taste. Using these recipes and techniques, you’ll whip up chocolate treats for every meal: simple Chocolate-Walnut Muffins; impressive Chocolate Brioche Buns; showstopping Chocolate Pavlova with Berries and Whipped Cream. Plus, we’ve peppered the book with quick hits such as homemade Nutella to keep at the ready for morning toast and make-ahead hot chocolate to warm you up after a day in the snow.

"As useful as it is beautiful...the recipes–which employ techniques for creating time tested standards–produce delicious desserts."
