This is the original chocolate cookbook by Green & Black's, that is packed with recipes to tempt, tease and torment lovers of this food of the gods. Chocolate is full of texture and taste and it can be turned into sweet and savoury, simple and sophisticated recipes. Above all, chocolate inspires many moods and so the chapters include Magic (glamorous recipes for dinner parties), Abracadabra (quick and easy recipes), Melting (light puddings and mousses that melt on your tongue), Licking the Bowl (for children and birthdays), and Wicked (those irresistible concoctions). It also includes the more traditional ideas for cakes, puddings and biscuits, and there are also more surprising recipes for soups (chocolate soup), chillies and meat (chicken mole, and Italian sweet salami). Woven into the book are stories about the history and myths of chocolate and its cultivation and production, as well as tips for handling and cooking. With recipe photographs plus location pictures of the organic cocoa plantations in Belize, "Green & Black's Chocolate Recipes" is a veritable feast for all the senses.

I borrowed this book from my Mum and am very reluctant to return it! It is beautifully presented with lovely big pictures of many of the recipes interspersed with information and more pictures about the chocolate production process. THe recipes are all mouthwateringly good each with an introduction on its background.
There are many common dishes such as chocolate mousse, ice cream and florentines but they are balanced with a mix of more unusual dishes both sweet and savoury from around the world. So far I have made chocolate and salted caramel tart (who'd think a teaspoon of salt could taste so wonderful?!), italian venison agrodolce (sweet & sour - try it, your taste buds will thank you!) and white chocolate cardamom mousse and they have all been stunning.
In fact, I think it's about time Mum got her book back so she can have a go - I'm going to order my own copy right now!

Green and Blacks are a brilliant company who produce a wonderful range of products. This book keeps to the high standards that you would expect from Green and Blacks.
The recipes and photos and beautifully represented and get your mouth watering as soon as you turn the first page.
You will also be suprised at the range of recipes that are represented here. Obviously there is a range of cakes and mousses in the book, but also inscructions on how to use chocolate in savory recipes. I can't wait to try some of the fantastic looking and sounding dishes in here.
There is also photos and details of how, where and who produce the product. This serves to remind you that Green and Blacks are a company who make organic, socaily responsible chocolate and are justifiably proud of this. I love Green and Blacks chocolate and I love the Green and Blacks Chocolate Recipe book

Awesome! I've only tried the celebration brownies so far but it's worth it just for that recipe alone.
