Ari Weinzweig

Houghton Mifflin, 2003

The Good Eating Bible
When it comes to food and cooking, this is one of my top 3 favorite and most used books. Though this has recipes, that is not where its value lies. This book is a guide to understanding and appreciating quality in your food. Some of the foods covered are olive oils, vinegars (balsamic and others), cheese, bread, pasta, chocolate, etc. Each section tells you what makes for quality and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate20 reviews
Rhett DeVane

Rabid Press, 2003

Funny, Sad, and Everything In Between
While this is strictly a work of fiction, the town of Chattahoochee is real. In fact, it is the town in which author Rhett Devane lived as a child. From the "about the author" insert: "Rhett DeVane is a true southerner, born and raised in the piney woods of the north Florida panhandle. Originally from Chattahoochee, Florida, she now lives in Tallahassee where she is completing a series of ... 		  
  







  
  
Essence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine Chocolate18 reviews
Robert Steinberg, John Scharffenberger

Hyperion, 2006

Bravo!
What a beautiful book! I pretty much collect cookbooks and I definitely have my favorites. I had my eye on this one but I stopped myself from making the purchase (well... at least for a while). I am glad I did finally break down and buy it. Besides it being a truly beautiful book, it is filled with the inspiring story of how one can turn a tragedy around and how 2 people could do so much in such ... 		  
  







  
  
Bittersweet Journey: A Modestly Erotic Novel of Love, Longing, and Chocolate18 reviews
Enid Futterman

Viking Adult, 1998

A delight for all the senses.
The photography, the story, the knowledge of chocolate -- altogether Enid Futterman's Bittersweet Journey is a delight for all the senses. Perhaps the first of its kind, it is a visual novel, and it is just beautiful. In this deliciously rich and psychologically profound piece of work, the photography is every bit as evocative as the narrative. It is the story of a woman sprung loose from her ... 		  
  







  
  
Maida Heatter's Book of Great Chocolate Desserts18 reviews
Maida Heatter

Knopf, 1980

Best ever
I bought it when it was first available back in the early 80s and all the recipes are really great. But first among equals is the Toblerone Milk Chocolate Mousse - I regularly double the recipe and it never fails to please. 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate and Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen48 reviews
Clotilde Dusoulier

Broadway, 2007

Charming, fun, and good food, too
"Chocolate & Zucchini" is an entertaining combination of Clotilde Dusoulier's thoughts on food, cooking, and the Parisian lifestyle, and recipes chosen to reflect that lifestyle in a way American audiences can recreate. For my own tastes (so to speak), I could have done with more discussion and fewer recipes, but I certainly cannot complain. For one thing, it sounds like her forthcoming second ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate Friday15 reviews
Edwina Martin-Arnold

UrbanKind Press, 2005

That Chocolate Flava!!!!! (5+ stars)
Book Description: THE NECESSARY HUNGER! A foreign phrase to sedate English professor, Olivia Anderson, unless one were referring to food and such. However, Olivia learns the erotic meaning when she's enticed to take a walk on the wild side and attends an all male revue with a distinct urban edge. There, hidden desires are brought forth especially by one dancer known only as Flava. Returning from ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner41 reviews
Peter P. Greweling, The Culinary Institute of America (CIA)

Wiley, 2007

For any serious confectioner!
As a Culinary Institute of America graduate, I was fortunate enough to take the Chocolates & Confections class that this book is based on. We used it as a textbook and it was such a huge help in understanding the theory behind candymaking. Chef Grewling is a very knowledgable and enthusiastic instructor. The formulas in the book are the ones that we used in class, so trust me when I say they ...

I am a physician and found Dr. Jampolis's approach so easy, that I have recommended it to many of my patients. I like the simple recipes. Her tips on traveling and eating out are great.

I'll Follow the Moon (Mom's Choice Award Honoree and Chocolate Lily Award Winner)12 reviews
Stephanie Lisa Tara

Brown Books, 2005

I'll Follow the Moon
I stumbled across this book quite by accident, and I found it to be a treasure. The verse is lovely and calm, as are the illustrations. It also depicts fairly accurately a remarkable natural phenomenon. As a new mom who longed for a child for many years and eventually adopted internationally, I found the symbolism achingly beautiful. I have since given the book to several friends who have ...

Debora Yost

"Stewart, Tabori and Chang", 2005

Heart Patients - Give Yourself a Gift
As a heart patient and coordinator of support groups for other female heart patients, I love this book! Instead of dwelling on what we CAN'T have and what we MUST do, Debora Yost presents her 101 tips as gifts we can give to ourselves. Also, her research is sound and up-to-date, and I like the idea of incorporating one new tip into my life each week. If you have heart disease, get this book as ...

Brownie Mix Bliss: More Than 175 Very Chocolate Recipes for Brownies, Bars, Cookies and Other Decadent ...13 reviews
Camilla V. Saulsbury

Cumberland House Publishing, 2005

Brilliant! Brilliant!
Admit it - even die hard bakers and cooks like me - can use a short cut now and then - this is the brownie mix bible! Buy it - you won't be disappointed. -- Addendum: Made the dark rum brownies today with the chocolate glaze - dear God - - I bake them and then left the house - I came back in and the house smelled incredible (and I bake all the time!) - - - they taste even better than they look ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate: The Consuming Passion13 reviews
Sandra Boynton

Workman Publishing Company, 1982

Still a treat twenty years after it was published!
I have always had a soft spot for anything Sandra Boynton does, but "Chocolate: The Consuming Passion" is probably my favorite of her books. I have bought it for more chocolate-loving friends than I can count and they have all been thrilled with it. Boynton deftly blends together her signature cartoon animals (who for the most part try to look dignified in less than dignified ...

Susie Neimark

Sunny & the Chocolate Dog Llc, 2003

Sunny & Chocolate are a big hit
What a great book - my 8 year old could not put it down. This was the first time that he actual brought a book with him during a car ride so that he could finish the story.

What a precious, uplifting story full of encouragement and positive reinforcement. I enjoyed every minute of it and I know my grandchildren will too. The patience and understanding that Sunny showed Cloudy was so sweet. Very well done! 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate and Fireflies11 reviews
Suzanne Locklear

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

You laugh, you cry, and you get hungry
After receiving a copy of Suzanne's book, I thought I'd check it out the other morning. It ended up totally changing my plans for the day, as I found I just couldn't put it down and walk away. It's a good, easy "read" about courage, tenacity, perseverance, love and heart, and, as a bonus, it has a lot of really good-looking recipes. It reminds us all that healing requires and includes many ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate Moose12 reviews
Fred gwynne

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1987

Hooray for Homonyms!
I love all Fred Gwynne's books for kids. The drawings are exceptionally well done, and the expressions on some faces are priceless. The book shifts our adult perspective a bit to remember what it was like as a kid to hear grown-ups use certain phrases, and the pictures they conjured up in literalist-child minds-- putting a wing on the house, or playing the piano by ear.
