Pros & Cons
Pros
The america's test kitchen everything chocolate recipe book is the perfect gift to give to your favorite chocoholic. Your basic fudge is in the book, but so are chocolate bark with pepitas and goji berries. The instructions in this book are probably c... Read More

Chocolate is used to season and enhance meats and stews. The hazelnut chocolate biscotti are so good and easy. It's a food processor cake.
The distinct lack of savory dishes is the only criticism i have of this book so far. This just elevates them. There are some overlaps here and there, but for the most part the chapters are separated well.
The only criticism i have of this book is omitting such from a book with the word "everything" in the title.

Honestly every time i open this book i get distracted by the images, it’s like being hypnotized.
What is distinctly missing is any material for savory dishes.

I wish i had a photographic memory, but i suppose $24 works just as well.

Packaging/appearance
Perfect christmas gift for people you don't know well (new sister in laws!

My favorite recipe here was the chocolate orange angel food cake, though i omitted the teaspoon of grand marnier in the recipe.

That's done equally well here, but they did a few other things that made this cookbook even better.
