recommended for: Interested in taking up French classics? Or just a fan of Chocolat?
While I'm simply too lazy these days to cook any of the recipes in this book (give me a break, I'm pregnant, huge, and more inclined daily to open a box of cheese its than actualy cook something!), I loved her philosophy of cooking. The recipes in the book all lend themselves to cooking with loved ones, from friends to small children. They all the sort of lingering, putzy recipes that beg for a cool fall day and lost of time to prepare. The desserts look decadent (I actually worked up the energy to buy the ingredients for a tastey chocolate filled chocolate cake- maybe I'll update my review if I actually bake it!).
So I guess in sum, I loved the idea of this cookbook, along with the pictures and the cute background stories attached to most of the recipes, but I really can't offer much evidence that the recipes are as good as they look.
