This was a Christmas present from Stephanie and quickly became my favorite cookbook! Every recipe I've tried has been amazing.

That's a lot of chocolate! I haven't tried any recipes yet, but I intend to do so. It would be helpful to me if measurements were also provided in grams since I will have to make the conversion. Perhaps in the next edition. Yum yum.

These are okay recipes. They will serve you well but they aren’t the base that I would want to use for my cookie recipes. And she uses a lot of the same base for each one.

What a delicious cookbook. I do love chocolate chips (of course)and was excited to look into this book. Inside I found a number of traditional cookie recipes that I am looking forward to trying. But some of the desserts truly caught my eye. The recipe for Chocolate Cream Pie was different from any I have tried so far, but sounds ever so delectable. Cookie trifle is also on my "to try" list. I was pleasantly surprised how many elegant recipes were included. The photographs are well done.

I got this book for my birthday and I have already made a few recipes. They were easy and delicious; I like that the recipes are varied: cookies, breads & sauces. There's also a helpful guide to different kinds of chocolate.
