Media Reviews
Acclaimed chocolatier Chantal Coady opened her chocolate shop, Rococo, in 1983 and has never looked back. Passionate about real chocolate, she has no shortage of customers in search of that extra special chocolate confection which she creates for sweet-toothed connoisseurs. In this lusciously illustrated book she shares tips and secrets on chocolate cuisine - not only sweets, puddings and cakes but savoury dishes such as aubergine and tahini crostini, pan-roasted chicken with chocolate vinegar, roast lamb with chocolate. More enhanced with a richness than a sweetness, these savouries will intrigue your dinner guests till told what that tantalising je ne sais quoi is. Needless to say the desserts are to die for, their chocolateyness oozing from the pages in the fabulous accompanying photographs. The addition of Chantal's professional advice and methods together with a brief history of chocolate makes this a chocoholics dream read. And just imagine a whole three course dinner with chocolate as an ingredient in every course.... - Lucy Watson
