Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A must for any serious or not so serious bakerI turn to this book constantly! It has so many excellent recipes in it. If there is one baker who has truly inspired me, whom I would love to meet, it's this guy!! The Chocolate Raspberry Bavarian is a family/friend favorite. Some of the recipes can seem challenging, but with patience, you'll realize how simple they really are. Nick Malgieri isn't one of those bakers who thinks you'll know what went wrong--he anticipates the little 'oops' and gives step-by-step 'how to fix it'. I can't tell you how many times his instructions have saved my recipes. He's a must in any kitchen. Rating:  - Chocaholic Must HaveIts the most expensive book that I've got in by collection, well.. glad to say that I think I used my peso(Philippine Money) wisely coz I haven't regretted this purchase. So far since last christmas season when I first got it, I tried 3 recipes all successful. Its the first time I made brownies where the middle isn't raw which is a good thing, coz that has been my problem ever since. Not any more! The pictures are fantastic but I with there could be more, I mean who gets tired of looking at chocolates? Nobody that I know :) Rating: - Chocolate made easyI bought this book for two reasons: first, I am a chocophile. Second, Malgieri's reputation. I have his book "How to Bake," which is excellent and all the recipes I've tried work. That is one of his fortes. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to plunk down a chunk of money for a cookbook with recipes that don't work. These do. My one an only criticism is that he's not a chocolate fanatic in the true sense. His information and recipes are good not great. If you want the definitive work on Chocolate by a true connoisseur get "Death by Chocolate" by Marcel Desaulniers...exquisite! Malgeiri's book, however, is good in it's own right and deserves a spot on your book shelf. Rating: - Good Book, Not as Great as His OthersI have tried several recipes from this book. All have turned out well or excellent(just by following his detailed recipes), but none have produced to-die-for results. Which is disappointing with a chocolate book. And considering I am a big fan of his other books, this is a double disappointment. I do find his recipes helpful, there are many tips on getting a good result in the intructions, and lots of pictures. The first chapter does a crash course in chocolate, which is limited, but is all one, who does not work in culinary arts, needs to know. The recipes range from cakes, cookies, breads, ice cream, drinks and candies. If you are looking for a good, all-around chocolate book, this one should be considered.
