Everything a chocolate lover needs in one book.
With nearly 100 recipes, this stunning, expertly tested, and easy-to-use book is for anyone who loves chocolate or wants to master working with chocolate. Beautifully photographed and with detailed illustrations, The Guittard Book of Chocolate is THE definitive, fail-safe book on working with chocolate.
Authoritative and accessible, The Guittard Book of Chocolate reveals the science behind chocolate and organizes its recipes by form factor: chocolate chips, wafers and bars, and cocoa powder. Each responds differently in recipes, so choosing the right format guarantees the best outcome. Looking for cakey brownies? Use cocoa powder. Want to avoid having your chocolate fall to the bottom of your quick bread? Opt for chopped wafers, not chips. Family-owned since 1868, Guittard is one of America's most beloved chocolate brands.
