Product Info Reviews

Description:

Do you crave chocolate? Swoon at the scent of vanilla? Whether you love one or both, Sharon Tyler Herbst's succinctly informative study of the pair will delight you. The history of each along with descriptions of how vanilla beans and cocoa are cultivated and processed into sublime edibles are intriguing. Herbst briefs you on all the forms chocolate and vanilla take, then moves on to recipes for dishes made with each and with both. These 40 recipes are seductive, sumptuous and mostly simple. Nearly all are over the top for sheer hedonism, including Chocolate Whipped Cream, Vanilla Curd (like lemon curd but oh, my!) and Black Magic Mousse. Herbst includes generous amounts of useful cooking information such as how to beat egg whites or to select and handle fresh berries.
