[Marguerite Hargreaves · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most beautiful books I own. This was a Christmas gift in 1997 (Thanks, Mom) and was so enticing I began to read it before breakfast/brunch. The photos are exquisite. Christian Teubner offers a primer on chocolate -- also the equipment -- in all its forms. The book has taught me techniques more than anything else. I'm not sure I've ever made one of its recipes, some of which are extremely fussy and complicated. I have drooled over every photo, though. Teubner's book also taught me to think more visually about food, a useful tutorial and source of ideas when I was food editor of the newspaper and had to cook and style food for photos.

This is very entertaining.

A very nice and authoritative book on a deep culinary topic. But…not as impressive as his book on rice. Also tends to the professional application rather than the casual home cook. The info on history, culture and process is well done.

Kepingin semuanyaaaaaa!

Kayaknya enak juga nyobain resep minuman Mexican Hot Chocolate. Resepnya copas di sini deh:

3 1/4 cups milk
1 vanilla bean
9 oz Mexican chocolate tablets (or 1 cup cocoa powder mixed with 1/2 cup of sugar)
1 cup water
1/2 chile, seeds removed
3 tablespoons honey
pinch of salt

Pastinya hot, apalagi kalau cabenya gak cuma setengah, atau bijinya ga dibuang. Slurp...

Resep yang paling aneh dan baru tau ada di buku ini cuma satu: mi coklat. Mi pakai saus coklat...? OMG, pengen nyoba sih iya, tapi baru ngebayanginnya aja kayaknya udah eneg...

Re-read/search for a recipe 2016

I think my original rating was for the fact it's about chocolate and the history in the first section in the book is really interesting. Most of these recipes are just way to involved for me to be interested in making. I did find 3 that are not that hard to make and are really good. My favorite is the Rigo Jankzy's. I just love those things.
