I have another of Chantal Coady's books and this latest addition is a chocolate lovers delight. It will become another chocolate bible for me as I love the creative and innovative recipes and the pairings of flavours that Chantal uses.
There is also an insight into how Rococo began in the introduction and lots of interesting history about chocolate and how she came to be the influential and highly successful chocolate maker that she is today and has been since being one of the forerunners offering high quality chocolate to London.
I would encourage you to but this book, it will remain a treasured, well used book in my house!

I've just been given this wonderful book as a gift, lucky me! It is incredibly beautifully presented, full of evocative photographs of delicious chocolate things and each chapter page faced with lovely antique tile designs. A very comprehensive collection of recipes range from savoury chocolate biscuits to praline filled hens eggs and magnificent cakes. Some of these ideas I can realistically hope to reproduce with my kids in my ktichen at home while others will need some real skill - at the back is a useful guide to techniques written simply and clearly but in the kind of detail you need to make the truly jaw dropping effects presented. These recipes are imaginative without being gimmicky and the careful methodical approach is elevated by little details of history, family, friends and helpful notes ("don't be alarmed if the dough seems rather sticky"). I love the way Chantal Coady writes. Her total devotion to her subject comes through so warmly and sweetly - a bit like the magic stuff itself. Everyone should have this on their Christmas present list for the foody people they love. Now, off to make chocolate brioche...............

I was lucky enough to receive this book as a gift and couldn't wait to dive in. The book is beautifully presented in its own gift box and from page to page you are shown tempting shots of each recipe... and more!
The first two recipes I made were the Chocolate Salami - a 'log' of ganache with biscotti and nuts - and the chocolate brownies with the suggested addition of pecan praline... both were easy to make with clear step by step instructions and tasted fantastic! The book offers not just sweet and savoury recipes for cakes, confectionery, desserts and drinks but also techniques for melting, tempering and decorating. Suffice to say, this will be one of my 'go to' books for chocolate inspired recipes.
One of the most beautifully written and photographed recipe books I have the pleasure to own.

I bought this book after discovering the shop after moving to London - having recently discovered making chocolate as a hobby I was keen to get all the help I could get.
Chantals' book and philosphy towards chocolate is inspiring, she teaches you about why buying the right chocolate is important, about the quality of ingredients and most importantly how to "taste" chocolate.
The recipes that she has shared are easy to follow at home, and although for some of them you need specialist tools, they can easily be adapted.
There are hints and tips about how to present your chocolates, how to paint and proper molding techniques.
I have also recently bought some chocolate making tools from Rococo which allow me to make even more of the lovely recipes!

I bought the book as a present for my daughter, who is a chocaholic. The quality of presentation and packaging was very, very good. The contents of the book, particularly the recipes are tempting. Well you have to try them, don't you?
Delivery from Amazon was quicker than originally believed. Well done to all.

I could not believe that all three of the books arrived the next day and so close to Christmas. The box that the book sits in is exquisit and certainly made beautiful gifts for three members of my chocolate loving family
