## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An excellent "Entry Level" book for making sublimely decadent chocolates and truffles.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2016*

Just over 6" square, this 64 page padded hardback is ideal as an 'entry level' recipe book, dedicated to simple-to-make chocolates and truffles.At under a fiver, it represents excellent value for money. The  25 recipes for chocolates are uncomplicated, relatively fuss free and the results are absolutely sublime. When well made, these simple truffles and chocolates can rival anything similar from an Artisan chocolatier.The book contents include:IntroductionChocolate making equipment (very little 'specialist' kit needed other than a thermometer for tempering)Preparing chocolateTempering chocolateMaking ganacheMaking trufflesThe recipesIndexOne thing I would have liked is a list of stockists for chocolate making sundries, i.e. suppliers of foils, wrappings and inexpensive boxes to add a little elegance if you're making chocolates and truffles for gifting, but you can find pretty much everything you need on Amazon if you spend a little time looking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good little book
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2020*

Lots of good ideas and recipes, some are maybe for the more experienced, but most recipes could be adapted. The author shows coating the moulds and then topping out the excess chocolate, I find this process messy and use a brush to coat the moulds instead, giving them 2 or 3 coats and allowing drying time in between each coat, before filling with ganache or flavoured fondant. Will be good to experiment with some new ideas. Handy little book, and I enjoy making homemade foodie gifts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    These are clear and easy to follow
  

*by P***2 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2018*

As others have commented, this is a small book 14x14 (6"x6"), so quite handy to keep nearby when following the recipes... But as is often said "size isn't everything".The book has an Introduction and then five chapters on equipment, preparation, tempering, ganache and truffles followed by the 25 recipes. These are clear and easy to follow, each with a beautiful photo of the finished item and a 'Cooks Tip' or 'variation' to help you. I have made almost half of these so far and am delighted with the outcomes... practice makes perfect so here's to the next batch! Recommended.
