Bittersweet: Recipes and Tales from a Life in Chocolateby Alice Medrich
Awards2004 IACP Cookbook of the Year
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The time when home bakers had only one choice of baking chocolate is long past. Today, we have an entire new generation of chocolates to choose from: chocolates with less sugar, more cocoa bean solids, and definitely more flavor. And these "new chocolates" — called percentage chocolates — beg for the creation of new recipes and a fresh take on the classics.
Every recipe in Bittersweet is foolproof and utterly delicious, no matter what your level of expertise. You'll marvel that recipes as classic as brownies, chocolate cake, and ice cream can still surprise and that souffles, crepes, and even pasta sauces can be so dramatically flavorful. Book News Annotation:The former owner of the innovative Berkeley, California dessert shop
"Cocolat" and author of the award-winning cookbook of the same name
describes her conversion to "chocolate for adults" and her quest to
create extraordinary desserts. Medrich includes recipes (some of
lighter versions and non-desserts), sufficient photos to induce
chocolate lust, a glossary, and fine chocolate sources.
Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"This all sounds highly cerebral, but once Medrich puts her theory into practice...it becomes deliciously clear....Clearly, this author's curiosity is her defining characteristic; her ability to convey the fruits of that curiosity is the readers' good fortune." Publishers Weekly
Review:"Scattered throughout are insightful essays on Medrich's love of chocolate....Attractively designed with wonderful color photos and simple recipes, this is highly recommended for all collections." Library Journal
Synopsis:Today's chocolates are not your mother's baking squares. The new-style chocolates are much more flavorful and they come in as many varieties and blends as wine grapes. These new chocolates — made by Lindt, Valrhona, Scharffen Berger, El Rey, Callebaut, and others — are known as percentage chocolates: the higher the percentage, the more chocolate, the less sugar. Percentage chocolates have their own baking characteristics as well as unique flavor. In Bittersweet, Alice cracks the code for substituting one type of chocolate for another and offers new recipes — and fresh takes on old ones — that will please all who want flavor and nuance in their chocolate desserts.
