Chocolate Lovers' Delight

Review by "Retired Geek's Wife": Having been to the Trellis Restaurant in Williamsburg, VA, I was familiar with Chef Marcel's amazing chocolate concoctions. His other cookbooks are much more complex recipes than I'm interested in making, so I was very excited to discover "I'm Dreaming of a Chocolate Christmas" because the recipes are a bit simpler and certainly not just for Christmas. The recipes are extraordinary, but not beyond the time and talent constraints of us mere mortals. If you are wanting to stretch your talents, this is the cookbook to try. The directions and extra help provided in the "Chef Tips" are excellent, providing the details needed to create a memorable dessert for any special occasion. Be warned though, these are still more complex recipes than the norm, so allow enough time, especially for the prep work. When I made the Chocolate Chunk Celebrations, I spent 1 1/2 hours prep before I started actually cooking. Worth every minute...one of the best desserts I ever eaten and rave reviews from all that tried them!

Chocolate Lover Must Have

I do a lot of entertaining and this book was great to have for those extra special Christmas deserts. I liked this book because the average cook could make these recipes without spending hours in the kitchen.

Easy-to-follow directions, delicious desserts!

After reading the other reviews that said, "This book is so easy to understand..." I bought it for my sister-in-law for Christmas. I also thought I would try to prove how easy it was to follow by not only giving her the book, but also by making one of the desserts. I went for the Chocolate Amaretto Terrine - one of the fewest ingredient recipes in the book, but no picture... I figured it was a trade-off: I didn't have a picture to know what it was supposed to look like, but then again, I didn't have to worry about whether mine looked like the picture! I have to agree with the other reviewers - the directions were very easy to follow, and the dessert was delicious! The only reason I gave four stars, not five, is because I only made the one dessert. If the rest of the recipes in this book are as easy and tasty as this one, though, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to give it five stars instead!

Im Dreaming of a Chocolate Christmas

I have read this book and have tried 3 recipes already and all of them turned out fantastic. This book is easy to follow, well illustrated with lots of great tips and I would recommend it to anyone interested in baking with Chocolate. 5 Star Rating.

Footnote: Would also recommend Rose Levy Beranbaum "The Cake Bible" also for the enthusiastic baker or dessert lover.
