Schoggi

More Information

Quick snack or elegant closure of a gourmet dinner: chocolate makes your life sweet, or bitter, or nutty. The creamy melting style of the big chocolate producers has a growing number of competitors. This book portrays innovative Swiss chocolatiers and chocolate makers who are constantly looking for new procedures in their workshops in order to unveil the true potential of the cocoa bean. There is just as much diversity in the gastronomical use of chocolate as there is in its production: creative star chefs present their favourite recipes – from vegan pumpkin »Schoggi« dessert to Norway lobster with cocoa fruit juice and curry. Too complicated? With 21 recipes for cakes and creams, hot and cold dishes, your kitchen becomes a genuine chocolate workshop. A richly illustrated history of chocolate in Switzerland, a sensory journey exploring cocoa aromas, and a detailed glossary round off this delicious book.
