 | Chocolate Matter - Matiere Chocolat (English)
Chocolate Matter, the stunning book by Stephane Leroux. At first glance, it's almost unimaginable that a wave, rose, granite, bamboo cane or mahogany plank could be made of chocolate. Each masterpiece reflects the technical expertise of Stephane Leroux in bringing matter to life in such striking fashion."Everything inspires me", explains Stephane Leroux, who draws on architecture, painting, sculpture... in his work. But it is nature - the sea, the birds, the plants and the flowers that stirs his imagination the most. This edition contains two books with one containing stunning photographs along with the main book of reciepes and techniques. What he produces in chocolate not only verges on perfection, but also offers that added spirit found in leading visual artists: a unique ability to capture light and spread its effects throughout an entire work. Stephane Leroux, recognised pastry chef is one of those who believe in the need to pass on the baton so that new generations can strive even further and continue this quest for perfection. With this in mind, take time to cast your eyes over the work within the work, the second book of the box set Chocolate Matters. In the 416 pages of these Design Techniques for Chocolate, Stephane Leroux presents about 50 style exercises using a step-by-step approach, from the creation of a stem in cocoa butter to the production of a concrete brick! More than 1200 photographs with accompanying text offer a wealth of detail on the progress of each piece, from the raw material, chocolate, to its transformation into a work of art, at the same time bringing all his creations within reach of everyone. | *$349.99 |

My coffee library was chock-full of colorful descriptions of brewing styles, growing regions, and recipes, with a few almost-unreadable scientific books mixed in. I would have traded in all of those books for one serious, practical book with relevant information about making great coffee in a café.

 | The Square: Savoury
Brand: Absolute Press
<DIV>There are some books we publish which, from the outset, you know are going to be special. This was true of the first book from Philip Howard: a collection of recipes from his restaurant, The Square. We knew we wouldn't be able do the recipes justice in one volume, so it became two - a first volume, <B>The Square: The Cookbook Volume 1: Savoury</B>, followed by <B>The Square: The Cookbook Volume</B><B> 2: Sweet</B> (due in June 2013). We knew we couldn't limit it to the conventional two pages per recipe and food photo, so they each became either 4 or 6 pages. We knew we couldn't illustrate anything less than every one of those recipes, so one of the world's finest food photographers, Jean Cazals, did just that. And yet these measures, which bring this colossal first volume of Philip Howard's recipes in at 528 pages, are only a small part of why this book is so special. It is special because it represents a collection of recipes from 21 years of one of the country's finest and most consistently fine restaurants. Special because the chef who has been at the helm of that restaurant for all of those years is recognised as one of the very best of his generation. But most of all, it is special because that chef has that rare ability to translate a genius in the restaurant kitchen into the words of a book. This was evident from the day we received the first written recipe, and, with it, Phil's fiercely intelligent vision for how the book - and every recipe within it - should be structured. It is also manifest in the dozen or so essays that weave throughout, that show a profound consideration and passion for every aspect of his craft and industry. <B>The Square: The Cookbook Volume 1: Savoury</B> is a landmark publication and a must-have book for every chef and for every serious foodie without question. Yet it will not also fail to impress and inspire anyone with a desire for cooking and a thirst for food knowledge. It will be recognised as nothing less than an incredible achievement and a book of truly unbounded culinary ambition.</div> | *$37.63 |
