Review: Great book from the best chocolate around. - I. Love. Theo. Their chocolate is amazing. They have seriously ruined the chocolates that I grew up with that were near and dear to my heart. But not anymore! As a huge fan of theirs, I follow them on social media and was so excited when I saw that a week before my wife's birthday their cookbook was coming out! And for only $18?? Did I mention I love Theo? Even if you don't love Theo, this is a great book for making many different types of meals to impress your friends and family. And it has WAY more recipes than dessert. I cannot wait to try some of their savory recipes.So far we have made their pots de creme for a dinner party. They were super easy and delicious. On top of having some really creative recipes, they share a short history of Theo. The pictures are also great for those who just love looking at sexy food pics. Review: A CHOCOLATE COOKBOOK. - OH SNAP. THEO CHOCOLATES. Here's the deal. This thing is not just full of delicious sweet desserts (deserts?) but has some entree and savory type dishes. It is also a beautifully designed cookbook with excellent typesetting, gorgeous photos, and the recipes are good, too. As the title may imply, however, the cookbook is not made of chocolate. But it sure as hell talks a lot about it.

A CHOCOLATE COOKBOOK.
OH SNAP. THEO CHOCOLATES. Here's the deal. This thing is not just full of delicious sweet desserts (deserts?) but has some entree and savory type dishes.

Decent, but can be a bit too vague
“Let cool slightly.” That is an instruction on the brownie recipe. It sounds easy enough, but the next step is to beat in eggs. If “slightly” isn’t enough cooling, the eggs will be cooked and you will have scrambled egg in your brownies. “Cool for x minutes off the heat,” “cool to room temp,” or a more specific “cool to x° F/C” would help provide more consistent results. I got this book for my brother who loves Theo chocolate, but he doesn’t cook as much as I do. I’m excited in the variety of recipes presented, but since he’s not a seasoned cook/baker and I don’t know how he’ll be with terms being a bit incomplete, this may not be as good a gift as I’d hoped.

Was a little disappointed in this cookbook
Was a little disappointed in this cookbook. Love the Theo company and their chocolate bars, but this cookbook is a little too over the top. I won't actually make most of the recipes from it. They are either too involved, too crazy, or require too many expensive ingredients.

Lost Potential
Good recipes well displayed. I should know better by now. When a chocolate maker prints a book, most of the recipes utilize very specific chocolates of their own. Chocolate is finicky. The fat content matters. So, if the milk chocolate you have has a different fat content, your result won't be the same. Beautiful pictures, but I won't be making anything from here.
