3864.0. "Death By Chocolate" by TANRU::CHAPMAN () Thu Nov 04 1993 09:54

Please move this anywhere appropriate -- I did check BOOKS and CHOCOLATE and
didn't find a good place to put this.

*NEW* cookbook, at least to me ...

Death By Chocolate, The Last Word On A Consuming Passion
  Author:  Marcel Desaulniers, of the Trellis Restaurant.  
  Pub: Rizzoli International Publications, Inc.
  Copyright 1992

The Trellis Restaurant is an 'upscale' restaurant in the historical district 
of Williamsburg, Va.

Table of Contents:
  Chapter 1 - Singular Sensations, Essential Indulgences for the serious
               Chocophile
  Chapter 2 - Simply Chocolate, Recipes that are easy to prepare and even
               easier to consume
  Chapter 3 - A Touch of Chocolate, Recipes utilizing chocolate sparingly,
               but with dazzling results
  Chapter 4 - Obviously Chocolate, Recipes that defeat the conscience and
               seduce the senses
  Chapter 5 - Chocolate Dementia, Recipes that will cause delirum tremens,
               even in the most reformed chocoholics

There's lots of 'techniques and equipment' information too.

AND ... there are recipes for 19 different ganaches!

My first recipe out of this book will be this week-end ... Lucy's Chocolate
Diamonds! Where you make a chocolate cake, with raspberry filling and cover it
with a Chocolate hazlenut ganache.

This guy has a show on The Learning Channel (or is it Discovery) by the same
name.

ps: I'll admit, I was suprised that we didn't have a not on chocolate cookbooks
yet!  Maybe the title of this mote could be changed to the more generic
"COOKBOOK:  Chocolate"?
