Chocolate: A Love Story Review..Guaranteed to Make you Hungry!

Sometimes a book is just a book, and other times it is something more. This book I was given to review is definitely something more. It is called CHOCOLATE: A LOVE STORY. This book was written by Max Brenner with artwork by Yonatan Factor. It is a compilation of 65 chocolate dessert recipes from Max Brenner's private collection. Are you getting hungry just hearing the word chocolate? Well, wait until I tease you with a few of the recipe names.

First, there is Veg-out chocolate cornflake TV wraps. This includes ingredients like crepes, sweetened cornflakes, bananas and chocolate-hazelnut spread. My tummy is growling just reading the recipe.
How about Lipstick banana chocolate cake bonbons? Sound exotic? Well, you should see the picture. It has sour cream, bananas, white chocolate and aged brown rum. I really need to stop before I head to the kitchen to whip one of these up!
Okay, for the last teaser we have, A therapeutic chocolate pot pie. Let me just tell you, if it tastes anything like the picture looks, then it will be the best pot pie I ever ate. It has the dough, a nut crumble and a cheese and white chocolate cream filling with strawberries. Alright, put a fork in me, I'm done.

The recipes are not the only great thing about this book. It is an absolutely beautiful book as well. It would make for a great book to leave out for looks and just to make people's mouth water. I can't wait to dive into making some of these recipes. According to the book, "It is so simple, you just need to really love chocolate"...and I do!
