Description: In this lavish book, the maitresse of Cocolat shares her exclusive techniques with you, enabling you to make the kind of visually stunning, "designer desserts" you thought only a professional could master. Here are how-to recipes for such show-stopping confections as:
- A Christmas mousse of white chocolate, surrounded by pinwheels of cranberry and raspberry-filled cake, scented with Kirsch.
- An unforgettable cake for Father's Day, splashed with rum, shaped like a sleek box, and tied with a ribbon of marbleized chocolate
- A child's birthday cake like no other: a whimsical tower of miniature help-yourself cupcakes, each capped with a milk or white chocolate glaze
- A superlative petite pastry -- an almond macaroon crowned with a gold-tipped, two-inch cone of chocolate-coated cream
- An incredible, soft-centered, chocolate-dipped American chocolate truffle -- the luscious delicacy that put Cocolat on the dessert map.
Alice Medrich makes these and other dream desserts feasible by taking complex techniques and breaking them down into accessible, easy-to-follow steps. "She imparts so much practical and useful information that even a first-time baker can reproduce her masterpieces," says Marlene Sorosky, author of The Dessert Lover's Cookbook.
You'll learn how to sculpt chocolate cabbage roses; make spectacular chocolate ruffles and fans; create dramatic three-toned chocolate cigarettes, chocolate shavings, and much more.
And because everyone needs a break from a favorite flavor, even when it's chocolate, Ms. Medrich tempts your taste buds with a sampling of her heavenly nonchocolate delights as well -- including her tangy Lemon Bombe and her rum and coconut creation, Coco Cabana.
Filled with gorgeous full-color photographs, precise directions, a helpful troubleshooting guide, and fabulous recipes, Cocolat cookbook is truly the ultimate chocolate dessert book.
