Good in paperback to making many versatile recipes. To making cakes, biscuits, pancake dishes, too fried chocolate balls in batter and chocolate drinks the Recipes are enjoyable to make.

One of those books you read, look at photos, and think I’m going to make one of these recipes and smash it at some point.

Until 3 years later you’re still trying to figure out whether you’re tempering chocolate the right way or if you need to get a proper thermometer.

The recipes looked amazing. Probably will work better for other more dedicated bakers. I’ve done three out of a huge number of recipes since 2015. It’s the thought that counts.

Been sat on the kitchen shelf unused for years. I looked through the recipes - some look fantastic but then I thought it’ll be years and years again before I do any of them.
So I’m donating it.
Sumptuous read though.

I like the history, and the particularly of the recipes, because they are more into exploring the culture in it. I enjoyed it

Beautiful photos, but the layout is not as user-friendly as I'd like and the recipes are weird and unappetizing. A lot of savory applications, which I'm not a fan of, which definitely colors my review.

OMG there are some scrummy recipes in this book :)
Will have to try them!
It also explains a lot about how cacao is grown and processed - very interesting
