The Seven Deadly Sins of Chocolate by Laurent Schott
This collectable book offers a visual treat and approximately 60 recipes for chocolate desserts, cakes and pastries. It constitutes a delightful gift and is much more than just a recipe book with its fantastic photography, each image being composed like a painting offering a beautiful dessert at its centre. It is truly mouthwatering! The recipes are accompanied by a short note from the author detailing a personal anecdote, professional tips for any delicate moments in preparation, recommendations for wine or other beverages with which to enjoy each dish, plus other accompaniments and the best time of year to serve. Each chapter focuses on a particular deadly sin and is associated with a particular colour Sloth (chocolate brown), Anger (fiery red), Lust (deep pink), Pride (deep purple), Envy (green), Avarice (black and grey), and Gluttony (orange). Sample recipes in this book include: Chocolate Pancake Mix, Creme Brulee with Chocolate and Tea, Chocolate Tart with Raspberries and Nut Crumble, Chocolate Marble Cake, Chocolate St-Honore Profiteroles, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Chip Muffins, Chocolate Gingerbread, and Truffles.
Laurent Schott wrote the recipes and is head patisserie chef at Laurent Mulhaupt in Strasbourg. He trained with Pierre Herme at Fauchon and is continuing his work with chocolate at a top establishment. Thomas Delhemmes, the photographer, is an expert in the fields of lifestyle, interior design and gastronomy.
