Let your New Yearβs resolution be βEat more chocolate.β With Jacques Torresβ A Year in Chocolate as your guide, you wonβt have any difficulty sticking with it from January right on through December. From the elegant Poached Pears with Chocolate Fondue to serve on New Yearβs Day and a festive BΓ»che de NoΓ«l filled with chocolate cream and ornamented with meringue mushrooms, to homemade Easter eggs and autumnal Pumpkin Seed Brittle, the world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier presents us with a calendarβs worth of treats sure to make every celebration more luscious. All the holiday classics are featured here: Valentineβs Day bonbons, a molded chocolate Easter Bunny, ice cream sundaes for the Fourth of July, and Chocolate Caramel Corn for Halloween. But for Torresβ chocolate-drenched imagination, tradition is also a springboard; among the bookβs many fanciful creations are Chocolate-Covered Matzohs for the Passover seder and a Chocolate Tamale to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Adapting all his recipes for the home cook, Torres showcases his favorite chocolate creationsβfrom traditional French pastry to classic American treats. With 150 ecstasy-inducing photos of the finished dishes, A Year in Chocolate will be the chocolate cookbook of the season.
