JACQUES TORRES' A YEAR IN CHOCOLATE

Kris Kruid, Judith Choate, Jacques Torres

Let your New Year’s resolution be “Eat more chocolate.”
With Jacques Torres’ A Year in Chocolate as your guide,
you won’t have any difficulty sticking with it from
January right on through December.

From the elegant Poached Pears with Chocolate Fondue to
serve on New Year’s Day and a festive Bûche de Noël 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 calendar’s worth of treats
sure to make every celebration more luscious.

All the holiday classics are featured here: Valentine’s
Day bonbons, a molded chocolate Easter Bunny, ice cream
sundaes for the Fourth of July, and Chocolate Caramel Corn
for Halloween. But for Torres’ chocolate-drenched
imagination, tradition is also a springboard; among the
book’s 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 creations—from
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.
