These days, people are accustomed to seeing chocolate labeled 54%, 61%,
or 72% on grocery store shelves, but some bakers are still confused by
what the labeling means and how to use it. In Seriously Bitter Sweet,
Alice Medrich presents 150 meticulously tested, seriously delicious
recipes--both savory and sweet--for a wide range of percentage
chocolates. "Chocolate notes" appear alongside, so readers can further
adapt any recipe using the percentage chocolate on hand. The book is a
complete revision of Alice's 2003 Bittersweet, which was named the
2004 IACP Cookbook of the Year. Since 2003, the world of chocolate has
grown exponentially and terms like "bittersweet" and "semisweet" no
longer suffice as chocolatiers everywhere are making chocolates that are
labeled with specific percentages of cocoa.Alice clearly outlines the
qualities of different chocolates as she explains how to cook with them.
With tricks, techniques, and answers to every chocolate question,
Seriously Bitter Sweet will appeal to a whole new audience of
chocolate lovers
