Here's a wonderful new cookbook every chocolate lover should own! Simply brilliant! These guys know chocolate! Scharffenberger and Steinberg are the founders of the American company, Scharffen Berger Chocolate, which produces some of the finest artisan chocolate in the world. The Essence of Chocolate is as much about the story of Scharffen Berger as it is a cookbook with details of how the company got started and how they find, buy, and make their chocolate.

The authors share their own recipes as well as those from some of America's greatest chefs, including Thomas Keller, Rick Bayless, Jacques Pepin, Michael Chiarello, David Lebovitz, Sherry Yard, and many more!

Wonderful photos by Deborah Jones are the cherry on top.
