Everything Chocolate
A Decadent Collection of Morning Pastries, Nostalgic Sweets, and Showstopping Desserts
Chocolate may be the most universally loved (and craved) flavoring, and Everything Chocolate is the definitive guide to any sweet treat you can imagine featuring it, for any time of day. Wake up with streusel-topped Chocolate-Walnut Muffins that are easy to make or professional-grade Chocolate Croissants when weekend time allows. Pack lunches with pleasing Milk Chocolate Revel Bars or serve Magic Chocolate Flan Cake or Chocolate Pavlova with Berries and Whipped Cream after dinner.
Much of why we fall for chocolate is because it brings back memories of candy bar snacks and sneaking just-baked chocolate chip cookies while they're still warm (we have the best recipe). We channel the nostalgia in recipes like Chocolate Fluff Cookies and Frozen Snickers Ice Cream Cake. But chocolate is also a grown-up favorite for black-tie desserts—think low, lush slices like Blood Orange Chocolate Tart or ganache-enrobed Chocolate-Pecan Torte (we'll teach you how to get a perfectly smooth coating). The full range of chocolate recipes is here, avoiding the pitfalls of unbalanced chocolate flavor (too bitter or too sweet) or dry, crumbly baked goods (chocolate contains starch and we've learned how to mind it). Become a home chocolatier by learning all about chocolate nomenclature, how to shop for the best-tasting cocoa powder, when you should use chocolate bars versus chips, decorating dazzling desserts with chocolate, and how to make candies and cookies with shiny, snappy chocolate coatings with our shortcut to tempering.

Starred review from March 1, 2020
The chefs at America's Test Kitchen have been indulging their chocoholic fantasies in this latest work to come out of their culinary empire. Recipes range from simple cookies and no-bake candies to showstopper desserts worthy of the Great British Bake Off. Large, full-color photographs help home cooks visualize creations that are sure to be mouthwatering. As usual, the recipes are tested several times, and come with explanatory headnotes of why particular techniques or ingredients are utilized. Many also include photographs showing steps along the way, which is particularly helpful for the more complicated productions. There is also a nice section on working with chocolate and helpful tools for baking, along with a conversion chart of weights and measures at the end. VERDICT Overall, a terrific new compendium that will appeal to bakers and chocolate fans of all skill levels.--Susan Hurst, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, OH
