The Essence of Chocolate

Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine Chocolate

Overview

From the publisher

In The Essence of Chocolate, Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker founders John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg describe how they started their business (in Steinberg’s home kitchen) and the trial-and-error process of making their own chocolate from cacao.

They look into the history of chocolate, and devote a chapter to farmers who grow cacao beans in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. The Essence of Chocolate also contains more than 100 delectable recipes for cooking with chocolate, drawn from the Scharffen Berger files and two dozen top pastry chefs.

Filled with helpful tips and sumptuous photographs, The Essence of Chocolate is a book that is every bit as seductive as its subject.
