DESCRIPTION
The Mayas called chocolate “food of the gods,” and most people agree. No matter whether its dark, milk, or white; has hints of vanilla or licorice; or is laced with liquor: chocolate is simply irresistible. This book--part of the "50 Easy Recipes" series from the experts at Academia Barilla in collaboration--is devoted to this metaphysical joy. Chocolate is a fun-shaped dark chocolate slab, greedily bitten into in the top corner. Inside, home cooks will find many Italian specialities such as Cuneesi with rum liquor, Parmigiani maraschino, and chocolate Sicilian cannoli.
Each book in the “50 Easy Recipe” series from Academia Barilla is dedicated to a particular ingredient and characterized by the foods form.
