A section on beverages features dozens of delicious possibilities for every time of day and every season of the year—from Mexican-style coffee to hot chocolate mocha to spiced hot cocoa to Brazilian iced chocolate and chocolate mint cooler. And for gift-giving (or family snacking), there's a host of recipes for fudge, truffles, brittles, drops, and other favorite candies.
1001 Chocolate Treats covers all the ins-and-outs of cooking with chocolate, including comprehensive information on the different types of chocolate and cocoas available in groceries stores and specialty markets, invaluable instructions on various ways of melting and tempering chocolate, and tips on baking and assembling cakes, pies, and tortes.
