Ultimate Encyclopedia of Chocolate
I bought this book when I first started experimenting with chocolate I don’t recommend it – it is not very useful, even though it has some good content, and is most definitely uninspiring. It is a beginner’s book, but I can’t even recommend it for a novice baker – it is pretty average (worse than Women’s Weekly – and I do enjoy Women’s Weekly – but these recipes are even sub-par for a broad-based consumer magazine). Some of the ideas are just plain awful – who wants to eat chocolate-dipped grapes? Yuk. Pass on this one.
