Now that I've cleaned up Little Tiny Keyboard Sucks To Do Reviews On Because, Hello, Its Tiny (that's LTKSTDROBHIT for short) I can publish this without feel like I just sat on the thing and hoped a good review came out. Gross...I meant the review turn out.
Gorgeous, chocolate dessert cookbook. Dorie Greenspan certainly knows her desserts! Cookies, cake, truffles, pudding...There aren't as many pictures as I'd prefer but the precise instructions leave no room for failure. I worked my first job in a chocolate factory/bakery and know full well the mercurial temperament of chocolate and chocolatiering. Following the tips and recipe will ensure a beautiful and delicious outcome. Everyone will love you. And there will be cake. Chocolate, of show more course show less
