Review
Any book dedicated to chocolate is going to be popular. A favourite world-wide with adults and children, men and women alike, it has connotations of luxury and wickedness, making one feel both elated and guilty at the same time. Compiled by the Good Housekeeping Institute, this chocolaty concoction of recipes includes cakes, biscuits, sauces, pastries, gateaux and mousses amongst many. Mixed with cherries, bananas, nuts and pears, its ability to mix with a host of other ingredients demonstrates its versatility in the kitchen. Universally loved, a chocolate treat rarely failing to elicit a welcome sigh, and with the Good Housekeeping Institute's guarantee of "tried, tested, trusted", these recipes should provide more than satisfactory results. Special occasions, tea parties or simply a mid-morning snack, they will more than satisfy the sweetest of palates. - Lucy Watson
