Subtitled "Deliciously indulgent desserts for chocolate lovers" - does exactly what it says on the tin. Chocolate dessert lovers like myself will slaver away looking at the photographs. I'm looking forward to making the likes of:
Chocolate and pistachio meringues
Orange chocolate roulade
White chocolate mascarpone cake
Black magic tart
Black forest souffle with hot chocolate sauce
Chocolate port & pear upside-down sponge
Banana & chocolate tarte tatin (top of my list to try!)
Trio of chocolate pots
Chocolate cardamom truffle cake (not much more than a giant truffle in the shape of a cake, with biscuity base)
Marbled chocolate cheesecake
