Reviews about this book

  • Boston Globe by T. Susan Chang

    ...we think of chocolate craftsmen as painstaking lab technicians...Despite this intimidating aura, Shotts's book...emboldened me to make the attempt in the distinctly unscientific setting of my home.

  • Not So Humble Pie

    I really like it, not just for the recipes but for the technical information...The book sets you up with the know-how to create beautiful chocolates from your own flavor combinations.

  • Vanilla molded chocolates

    • Not So Humble Pie

      Each of the book's chocolate recipes have a rating, from easy to difficult. These vanilla truffles are marked easy and they really are. Best of all they're smooth, creamy and fragrant with vanilla.

Today's chocolates have gone upmarket, mixing flavours such as chile peppers, caramel or wasabi with high-quality bittersweet or imported chocolate. Luckily creating such mouth-watering confections at home no longer requires a cooking degree - "Making Fine Chocolates" will teach you all the inside tips, techniques and methods for making chocolates like a professional chocolatier at home. Once only available to pastry chefs, the techniques shown here will help you create chocolates to rival those found in upmarket retail shops and specialist chocolate shops. Forget milk chocolate bars - the recipes in this book combine daring and unusual flavours to create truly unique creations. Using ingredients such as vanilla bean, mint and fresh raspberries, Andrew Garrison Shotts will teach you how to create one-of-a-kind homemade chocolates, truffles and confections that will dazzle your friends and family.
