Overview


Dramatic, seductive, playful, infinite in its variety, otherworldly in its taste: It's chocolate, and here's all the impetus you need to indulge your passion for it every day of the year. The beloved Alice Medrich, renowned for impeccable recipes that produce stellar results, has written Chocolate Holidays especially for people who love to bake but don't have enough hours in the day. Without compromising on flavor, texture, or ingredients, she pares down the preparation steps, teaches us resraint, and comes up with fifty amazing recipes, each a little jewel of elegance and simplicty.

An ideal year in chocolate might start with a New Year's brunch starring Chocolate Blini with Berry Caviar. Then there are Valentine's Day chocolate scones and St. Patrick's Day Irish Coffee Chocolate Mousse. And of course any "holiday" your imagination can conjure up is a perfect reason to indulge: perhaps a decadently rich hot chocolate served in demitasse portions to exorcise those end-of-February blues.

Spring might whisper chocolate Giant Krispy Easter Treats or a Passover Chocolate Nut Sponge Torte, or white chocolate-glazed Apricot Orange Cupcakes for a wedding shower. Summer suggests fruit and ice cream desserts such as the Independence Day red, white, and blue sundaes, followed by autumn's pies and tarts laden with chocolate and nuts. And no matter what you've been putting on the table for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays past, it will be out-chocolated by Alice's Chocolate Cranberry Pudding and her Chocolate Hazelnut Roulade—both unequivocally year-end musts.

In Chocolate Holidays, Medrich unlocks the secrets of our favorite sweet, offering chocolate desserts for every season, for every reason.

First published in hardcover as A Year in Chocolate (Warner Books, 2001)

Editorial Reviews

KLIATT
Medrich says that eating chocolate is a celebration all its own, and all these recipes speak for themselves with an elegant simplicity. Fifty different recipes have been organized into sections based on the season, featuring chocolate in many different forms. Almost every recipe is accompanied by a color photo to provide inspiration. Some of the recipes: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake; Chocolate Cranberry Bread Pudding; Chocolate Pecan Pie; Chocolate Dipped Caramel Apples; Chocolate Banana Blintzes; Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles; Chocolate Blini with Berry Caviar; and Chocolate Banana Waffles. Medrich has won both Cookbook of the Year and Book of the Year from the James Beard Foundation. KLIATT Codes: JSA--Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2001, Artisan, 132p. illus. index., Ages 12 to adult.
