Product Description
Using the full range of flavours from Green & Black's chocolate, this cookbook presents new and exciting ideas. With a greedy eye on baking, there are tantalising recipes for cakes and cookies, cupcakes and muffins, breads and traybakes, tarts and souffles, as well as inspirational ideas for ice creams, what to bake for festive occasions and some gluten and dairy-free options too. From Chocolate Truffles to Fig and White Chocolate Biscotti, the recipes are fun to do and easy to follow. Each of the recipes comes from a fan of the brand, whether it be a celebrity (Sharon Osborne, Lulu, Jo Wood), chef (Allegra McEvedy, Darina Allen...), restaurant or cafe (Hummingbird Bakery, Anchor & Hope) or competition winner, as well as some Ultimate recipes from the man that knows everything about Green & Black's chocolate, the development chef Micah Carr-Hill.

Format:Hardcover
A lovely book. A must for anyone who likes chocolate. Lots of new and a few classic Green and Black recipes are brought to life in the accompanying pictures. A wealth of chocolate treats that in themselves always seem to go down well with any audience.

Format:Hardcover
lovely book well presented, and a great range of recipes - some of the ingredients are a bit hard to source (not the chocolate!), but with the expense of G & B's chocolate might make it prohibitive for some....one beef with the presentation - sometimes the photos don't correspond with the nearest recipe, and don't have captions, so it's sometimes hard to see what your cooking is supposed to turn out like!!! that said, this was a valentine's gift, and as such was very well received.

This book is delicious. It features chocolate recipes of all kinds and they all look pretty wonderful. The book features chocolate ice creams, cakes, biscuits, pies, puddings, sauces and lots more. This book would make a great gift for anyone that loves making chocolaty desserts.
The introductory text for each recipe was well done and it was nice to read about who each recipe had come form and how. The book has a great foodie tone.
I associate Green & Black's with 70 and 85% cocoa chocolates, as those are the only products of theirs that I have ever bought, and had kind of hoped that some of the recipes would be inspired by these delicious and very dark and slightly bitter products. I also dislike anything loaded with sugar for health reasons.
While there were a few recipes that had 70% chocolate in, most of them also had quite a bit of sugar. Most recipes also had dairy and wheat. Fair enough, this is a book on decadent deserts - not a book on healthy chocolate recipes!
I was really happy though to find three recipes in the book that were low in sugar but also dairy and wheat/grain free (or that at least could be made to be so with some minor alterations in the recipes). They are on pages 110, 111 and 188 if anyone else is interested. I'd love to see some recipes using coconut flour or coconut milk in the next version; though I realise this may not be majority view. You can make a lovely chocolate sauce by melting 85% chocolate into some coconut milk, for example, and it is perfect poured over fresh bananas or berries.
Three cheers for Green & Black's for making all their chocolate products Fair Trade by the end of 2011 too. I just can't buy the non-Fair Trade ones anymore after seeing a documentary of children being mistreated by the chocolate industry. Organic is a must as well as chocolate along with coffee is one of those items it is particularly important to get in an organic version if possible.

A nice book with very poor editing
This is a very nice book with some great recipes and they are very very tasty. But I'm afraid it's downfall is in the editing, some of the recipe mention ingredients in the list... Read more
