Chocolate Alchemy: A Bean-To-Bar Primer: Creating Your Own Terrific Truffles, Candy, Cakes, Fudge and Sipping Chocolates - Kristen Hard

What Tartine Bread did for bread, Alex Stupak's Tacos did for tortillas, and Michael Ruhlman's Charcuterie did for sausage, this book does for chocolate: it reveals the complete process for making chocolate from scratch as well as offers a wealth of innovative recipes using chocolate. In look and feel it will have an appeal like that of the Laduree cookbooks with their jewel-like presentation. This collection of 100 fresh recipes celebrates bean-to-bar chocolate from the ground up. Including a revolutionary recipe for making chocolate from scratch from cacao beans, the book takes control back from the big chocolate manufacturers and gives home cooks the power to make their own chocolate of the highest quality.
