Un libro simplemente genial para los amantes del chocolate, con una completísima gama de recetas elaboradas con el mejor ingrediente de la respostería:
- galletas
- magdalenas
- Pudines
- Hojaldres
- Bizcochos
- Bebidas
- Pastas
- Mousses
Contiene una buena cantidad de tartas y pasteles ( mis favoritos) y los principales grandes de la repostería cómo:

- Selva negra
- Sacher
- Pastel de trufa
- Pastel de chocolate
- Brownies de varias clases
- Brazo de gitano
- Charlota de chocolate
- Dobos
- profiteroles
- Trufas

Por otro lado, cabe destacar que tiene una redacción práctica y gráfica, paso a paso.
El grado de dificultad en general de las recetas es de medio a difícil, por lo cual hay que estar un poco atento al elaborarlas y cogerse su tiempo.
No obstante vale mucho la pena probarlo y si cogéis algo de práctica os aconsejo hacer: Selva negra, uno de los mejores que hay y de los más ricos.
Buen provecho!

Chocolate lovers, rejoice! Here are more than one hundred recipes from around the world for everything chocolate. Perhaps you’ll try a Family Chocolate Cake or Sticky Chocolate Brownies.

Perhaps you’ll try the Cold Chocolate Drink . . . choose a milkshake or a soda.

Chocolate pretzels? A Dark and White Chocolate Torte? Maybe Chocolate Caramel Squares or Pain au Chocolate? What will you try first?
