Fine Chocolates Great Experience 3: Extending Shelf Life Reviews
| 42 of 43 people found the following review helpful  For advanced users only, By This review is from: Fine Chocolates: Great Experience (Hardcover) Content: Chocolate processing, rheology, shelf life, sugar processing, starting out, praline recipes, fat-based recipes, ganaches, caramels, Nougat, fruit-in-liquer, marzipan, truffles, fruit dough.This is an advanced book meant for advanced hobbyists or professionals. For example, there are no sections on how to pipe chocolate or how to melting chocolate - this book assumes you have that knowledge. Even more advanced knowledge such as how to use molds, using the guitar, or the enrobing machine is assumed. My favorite section is the sections on chocolate tempering (precrystallization as this book calls it) and troubleshooting chocolate coatings. It goes through all the things that can go wrong - patches of dull chocolate, difficulty in unmolding, air bubbles, cavities, streaks - and goes through how to correct these problems and why they happen.

The other two are 'Chocolates and Confections' by Grewelling and 'Making Artisan Chocolates' by Shotts. All three are top quality books.This one by Wybauw is an excellent book covering a variety of methods, procedures and products. It is a professional book as can be seen by the high price. If you are not very experienced with chocolate, but are adept in the kitchen, don't blow your money. Try your hand first, using the book by Shotts, which is very good and very cheap (see my review). Wybauw does not only deal with chocolaterie in this fine tome, but with many aspects of candymaking, including fruit pastes, marzipan, caramels, nougat, candied peel etc. All types of chocolates are exhibited, including, molded, ganaches and enrobed. There are many recipes for different kinds of ganaches and fillings. The methods are clearly depicted in color photographs and products are alloted a full page photo...

It is a shame that the translation of this book was not revised by a native English speaker. Some of the instructions are true riddles. And the terminology is more than a little odd. This fine edition would justify hiring a qualified translator. |
