Yet another awesome cookbook. This one has a special spot on my shelf, though, because it is all about my favorite food. The photos are so gorgeous that I literally want to make every single recipe in the book. So far I've made the triple chocolate brownies, and I enjoyed the easy-to-follow instructions and the fantastic results. Some of the recipes are demanding, but they are balanced by medium-difficulty and easy recipes even a fledgling cook could create. I recommend this to everyone who likes to cook, especially bakers and chocolate fiends!
