Book Reviews of I'm Dreaming of a Chocolate Christmas
Book Review: Visions of Fab Christmas Desserts Dancing On One's Mind & Tongue
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite cookbook authors has done it again. Whether a cookbook on chocolate or desserts or salads, one can count on Marcel to provide for the home chef a cookbook that provides exciting, creative fare with the home chef's capabilities and equipment in mind. He does extensive testing for this and one can easily appreciate this when attempting his recipes. His usual superb color photos, recipe writeups, Chef's Touch tips are all here as well.
What an over the top collection of Christmas Chocolate fare with this! I'm in love with Karen's Chocolate Peppermint Bourbon Walnut Fudge! It's over the top. Then there's the daring but not that hard to do (go to Lowes or Home Depot and get the PVC, they'll even cut it if you ask) and do "Refuge of Chocolate Pistachio Mousse." It looks much harder than it is to pull off! Texture and presentation are simply outstanding and who doesn't like pistachios with chocolate?
Hard to stop raving about this recipe collection, with the likes of such as "Chocolate Strawberry Hazelnut Brownie Bars" or "Chocolate Chip Pecan Rum Tart", "Mrs. Lenhardt's Chocolate Almond Toffee" or "Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Terrine." These are unusual, eccentric chocolate based goodies that taste as wonderful as they sound and they look spectacular.
Great insight to be included a section showing which recipes are great for shipping, for giving, for stay-at-home desserts, as well as packaging suggests. There also is his usual ingredient, technique and equipment addendum which is excellent.
This is a must for the serious Christmas cook, baker, giver, entertainer. Use it, give it, and you'll end up likely where I am, with Marcel at the upper top of your favorite cookbook producer, always waiting anxiously for his next offering.
