Matched with Harris’s gorgeous prose, telling quaint anecdotes and folklore on what she calls this ‘ancient, mysterious substance’, this is an indulgent feast for the senses. Whether bitter and dark, swirled with cream and juicy red fruits, or even perked up by a shock of chilli, there’s a scrumptious chocolate hit for all just waiting to be savoured. By the author of the bestselling CHOCOLAT - a powerful novel of a hardy island community fighting the encroaching seas. Nostalgic, soft-focus photography deliciously complements an exquisite selection of fifty recipes showcasing a lavish range of chocolatey possibility. Two sequels and one Oscar-nominated film later (starring the equally delectable Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche) Harris has teamed up with food writer and chef Fran Warde to create the ultimate homage to chocolate, guaranteed to satisfy the cocoa cravings of even the most insatiable chocoholic. Fifteen years ago, the publication of Harris’s best-selling Chocolat united chocoholics everywhere in appreciation of its mouth-watering descriptions of Vianne Rocher’s decadent chocolaterie creations. These books are part of an ongoing series, and for the most part stand alone, but work best in this order: 1: Chocolat.
