Pure Chocolate, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Dec 20th 2006 @ 8:02AM

After reading about the NOKA Chocolate exposé yesterday, it seemed like a good time to mention a chocolate cookbook from a well-known and well-respected chocolatier, Fran Bigelow. And Pure Chocolate: Divine Desserts and Sweets from the Creator of Fran's Chocolates is a book by a woman who knows what she's talking about when it comes to chocolate. In fact, the introduction of the book is entitled "Everything You Need to Know About Chocolate." With a careful tone and a lot of patience, she explains all the basics that will provide you with a solid feel for the properties of chocolate and all thing things that can be done with it. Her recipes are not limited to candies, despite the fact that she is most widely known for her confectionery skills. The book includes cookies, cheesecakes, puddings and sorbets, as well as truffles, brownies and tarts. Some of her most famous recipes are in the book, like the Chocolate Butter Glaze, as well as ones that might be less familiar even to her fans, like Brie White Chocolate Cheesecake, Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Roll and White Chocolate Coconut Cream Bars.
