Format:Hardcover
For most people this is very advanced and would see little further action than oo-ing and arr-ing on the coffee table, however if you were someone wanting to set up their own chocolate business this publication would be an inspiring and beautiful textbook.
After explaining the history and methods making chocolate the recipes are broken down into;
truffles and filled chocolates: making ganache, the science of the perfect truffle, adding fabulous flavours
couture chocolates: experimental fillings such as apricot and wasabi, black rice vinegar
"bouches" and small delights: chocolate rochers, millionaire's shortbread;
pātisserie: chocolate and praline Paris Brest, chocolate financiers, chocolate mielle feuile and more;
chocolate ices, drinks, sauces and spreads.
William's partner is Japanese and the fusion of chocolate with Japanese ingredients is one of the things that gives him his signature style.
This book would make a fabulous gift for any discerning chocolate lover.

I waited a long time for this book to land on my door mat at home, and it WAS well worth the wait! As a long time fan of William Curley products I couldnt believe just how extensive the book is, covering chocolates, biscuits, cakes and his stunning patisserie! The photography is beautiful with unusally a photo for every recipe which makes attempting each one just that little bit more appealing as I drool over the photos deciding which one to try first! Off to make my own scrumptious chocolate and pistachio cakes!!!

I can only provide a glowing report for this book - it was truly excellent. Glossy DELICIOUS pictures on every page for each recipe! So tempting I just had to try them out. Surprisingly simple to create.. I cannot honestly tell you my creations tasted as divine as the goods from the man himself though. But this only means I can go into his wonderful little shop in Richmond and smell the wonderful chocolatey air... Mmm :) Top marks to William Curley!
