Chocolate Baking: The Ultimate Guide to Cakes, Cookies, Desserts, and Pastries

$42 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

British baking star Edd Kimber offers a wide-ranging exploration of baking with chocolate, moving from everyday treats to more refined pastry work. Across one hundred recipes, he considers chocolate not just as a dominant flavor but as a flexible ingredient: sometimes bold and central, other times subtle and structural. The collection includes cakes, cookies, tarts, breads, and enriched doughs, with recipes such as cocoa nib rum raisin cookies, brown butter cocoa rye brownies, a salted PBJ tart, and strawberry cream cheese buns. Kimber balances familiar formats with small variations that shift flavor and texture without overcomplicating the process. Clear instructions and a steady approach to technique make the book accessible to home bakers while still offering enough range to keep experienced cooks engaged. A comprehensive and practical guide for anyone interested in working with chocolate. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
