No matter whether its dark, milk, or white; has hints of vanilla or licorice; or is laced with liquor: chocolate is simply irresistible. This lavishly illustrated cookbook, from the world-renowned Academia Barilla, celebrates chocolate with 50 scrumptious recipes--including such delights as Shortbread Cookies with Cocoa Beans, Profiteroles, Viennese cake, Zuppa Inglese, and assorted truffles. This is pure chocolate bliss!
