Author Bio
Michael Recchiuti started his own confection business in 1997, and his creations were quickly recognized for their sophistication and originality. Since then he has been featured in a variety of publications, including The New York Times (his were the only chocolates recommended in the 2004 Christmas gift roundup article), Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, and The International Herald Tribune, which called him the most interesting chocolatier in the United States. He lives in San Francisco with his wife; this is his first book. Fran Gage owned Fran Gage Patisserie Francaise in San Francisco for ten years, where she made award-winning bread, pastry, and chocolates. She now writes about food, and has published dozens of articles in Saveur, The San Francisco Chronicle, Fine Cooking, and others. Her books include Bread and Chocolate - My Food Life in and Around San Francisco, A Sweet Quartet - Sugar, Almonds, Eggs, and Butter, and Cake for Williams-Sonoma. She lives with her husband in San Francisco.
