This is one of my favorite books, and chocolatiers. Her books, recipes and techniques have been truly inspirational for many years. Alice Medrich shared with us all how to create professional and delicious desserts. I was living in San Francisco when she had opened her East Bay shop. It was a mecca for me and I made a regular pilgrimage to the shop to enjoy the chocolate vibes and eat some of the most gorgeous and sublime chocolate pastries anywhere.

The book title was taken from the name of Alice’s small chain of chocolate shops throughout the Bay Area. Having learned about chocolate and chocolates in France, she brought a fine European sensibility to her recipes.

So sad back when her locations closed in the SF Bay area, but now I can make them perfectly with the book.
