Chocoholics and vanilla lovers may never see eye to eye, but with award-winning pastry chef Gale Gand's new flip book of 60 truly tempting recipes--half featuring chocolate, the other half featuring vanilla--pleasing both sides has never been more simple--or more delicious. 16-page color photo insert.
Publisher's Remarks:
Love Vanilla?
Award-winning pastry chef and Food Network star Gale Gand considers vanilla the lingerie of baking: It's an invisible essential, the thing you put on before anything else; but when given the spotlight, it's every bit as sexy and alluring as chocolate-vanilla fans would say even more so. In this flip/cookbook, Gand offers tips on working with both vanilla beans and vanilla extract, revealing which is best for what, and includes a helpful substitution guide. And then it's on to the good stuff: recipes for irresistible sweets that showcase vanilla's beguiling flavor. With one section devoted to desserts using whole vanilla beans-think Vanilla Raspberry Rice Pudding with Lemon-Vanilla Caramel and Late-Night Vanilla Flan-and another focusing on extract-such as Vanilla-Blueberry Crumb Cake and Boston Cream Cupcakes-these are recipes that are anything but plain vanilla.
Love Chocolate?
Say the word chocolate and a chocoholic's face lights up with visions of utterly satisfying, rich pleasures. In this fun flip/cookbook, award-winning pastry chef and Food Network star Gale Gand shares her favorite ways to indulge family and friends-and yourself.
Gand offers tips on buying and working with chocolate, including demystifying those ever-confusing cacao percentages, before getting down to business with more than thirty luscious, tempting recipes. Organized by type of chocolate-dark, semi-sweet, milk, and white-they run the gamut from simple treats such as Chocolate-Praline Cake in a Jar and Creamy Dreamy Walnut Fudge to impress-the-guests desserts that include Mexican Hot Chocolate Fondue and Chocolate-Almond Upside-Down Cake. Accompanied by amusing anecdotes, helpfulmake-ahead notes, and clear, uncomplicated techniques, Gand's creations are as much fun to make as they are to eat.
