To many this book will contain scenes of basic, extreme pornography in explicit full colour. Sorry. Food pornography that is. Chocolate, yummy, tasty chocolate. 101 wonderful recipes that you can entertain yourself with in a quiet moment or maybe share with a friend.
Well enough with the cliched innuendo. Needless to say this book can be rather addictive and that can be bad for the waistline. This small little book packs in 101 different recipes involving chocolate with full colour pictures in case you needed any tempting to give one or more recipes a try.
Unlike many chocolate recipe books that end up being aspirational by nature, meaning that unless you are a skilled chocolatier or have the patience of Job, you are unlucky to try the majority of the recipes or, at the very least, be disappointed with the outcome of your endeavours. No such worries with this book as the clear, easy-to-understand text and wonderful pictures reach out to give you the confidence that you can succeed and make these tasty treats.
The health conscious may, however, be a little dismayed to note that at the end of each recipe is a little footnote giving typical dietary and nutritional information… talk about a turn-off - do you want to know that a delicious choco-berry trifle is typically 590 calories per serving.
Isn't it nice sometimes to be ignorant but happy?
