Chocolate French : Recipes, Language, and Directions to Francais au Chocolat

Part guidebook, part cookbook, Chocolate French takes readers on a culinary tour of the world's most celebrated sweet. Packed with recipes, facts, chocolatier reviews, and restaurant recommendations, the book explores chocolate from several angles, and includes anecdotes from Proust, songs by Trenet, and even fashion by the noted designer Sonia Rykiel. Conquering the myth that great French chocolate desserts require difficult preparations, Chocolate French shows how delicious chocolate dishes can be easily made, and how a chocolate-loving philosophy can sweeten life.
