Chocolate Desserts by Pierre
Hermé
In
my opinion, Pierre Hermé is one of the true masters in the world
of fine pastry. And Dorie Greenspan has an incredible talent for describing
his luscious creations. The second book by this duo brings you through
Hermé's
sensational chocolate masterpieces. I have already made several recipes
from this book and continually come back for more. My all-time favorite
is the Tarte Grenobloise, an unbelievable chocolate tart with caramel pecan
topping. You can buy
this book now from amazon.com and even join in a 'live' online
bake-off as several eGullet members (myself included) bake their way through
this book! Even Dorie herself has participated in this exercise in chocolate
passion. Oh, and don't forget the chocolate! For more of my recommended baking and pastry books and where to buy them, click here.
