Jacques has done it again. Tasteful recipes and wonderful information shared about each chocolate treat. He has been labeled a master for many years, but now I would say he has reached the levels of ICON.
Thank you, Chef, for sharing your life and recipes with us. Now the rest of the world can enjoy what has made so many around the world happy for so many years. Sure, the artistic appeal may not be the same, but a little taste is better than none at all.

I have a daughter and a son, who are both professioal chefs. They both requested this book for their birthdays this year. BOTH said they can look up a recipe on the internet, but are never sure it’s really going to be exactly what they need. With this book and Jacques Torres’ chocolatier reputation, they both said they felt safe using his recipes the first time out.

This book is a brilliant example of what a specialty cookbook should be. The text is written in a conversational tone, and yet delivers information that could take one years to learn in practice.
The recipes I’ve tried have been fantastic, the ones I haven’t…well, it’s only because there’s only so much chocolate one can eat and still fit through the door.
I borrowed this from the library, and within a day or two of reviewing and testing a couple of recipes, I knew that I would have to make space on my cookbook shelves to have this one as a permanent star in the dessert section.
