The Fine Chocolates: Gold

Excellent book, the finest compendium for chocolate you can buy.

Perfect handling and really quick delivery, great.

The sheer wealth of quality recipes in this book is mind-blowing. These are professional recipes. It also has enough theory to actually learn and understand why you doing what and gives readers the tools to develop their own recipes. What's really great is that the recipes come with shelf lifes. Like chocolate ganache 3 different ways with different shelf lives. This book contains knowledge of a lifetime of making chocolates.

After reading this book, I plan to get the whole series. It definitely covers what you need to know to make lovely, shelf-stable chocolates, but there are certain subjects I'd like to go more in depth on.

Chocolate heaven paradise for chocolate lovers! Love my book!

If you are deeply in need of professional information on chocolate and it use, buy this book.

Very boring to read, but the info is priceless!

This is a fantastic book but not a quick read. Deep and technical information regarding the chemistry of making quality chocolates. Great for anyone wanting to spend the time on a truly artful product. Not for anyone wanting to make quick candies with no study effort.

Serious chocolate stuff here. No fluff

Adorei! Tem tudo sobre chocolate, receitas, técnicas, processo químico, um verdadeiro manual. Uma pena editoras brasileiras não investirem na tradução.Vale cada centavo!

The bible for chocolate makers. Not just a compilation of the earlier books, but a revision by the author.Chapter after chapter of basic technique and foundation recipes; and a large number of interesting and flavourful more advanced recipes.Written with the professional chef in mind, so some home cooks may find they don't have all the required ingredients; and the recipes talk as much about shelf life and similar issues as they do about technique.There are unfortunately some proofreading errors at various points - and the index has many omissions.

Good as described.Excellent!

If you are really serious about chocolate, look no further. There are so many amazing recipes for truffles, pralines and other chocolate delights. The book is not for beginners, and its price reflects the "professional" side of the book.
