Customer Reviews

Interesting stuff and why my friends took my book.

Interesting chocolate recipes. I got the book and it disappeared shortly after showing the fact it had a lot more than the other ones that were viewed. New copy.

Ultimate cookbook on chocolate

Great book. Amazing collection of recipes, 1001 to be exact. Some traditional some unique, all satisfying. A picture of each recipe. Highly recommended.

A simply glorious dessert cookbook

Compiled and organized by Gregg R. Gillespie, 1001 Chocolate Treats is a simply glorious dessert cookbook featuring virtually every imaginable way to create chocolate taste sensations. A "must-have" for true chocolate lovers, color photographs of each recipe enhance the no-nonsense instructions for preparing everything from Chocolate Rum Cake, to Almond Brownie Bars, Chocolate Pumpkin Pie, Black Forest Torte, and much, much more. Also very highly recommended are three other cookbook compendiums by Gregg R. Gillespie.

Simply superb!

I found this book absolute heaven. Out of all my cookbooks this one is getting tons of usage. The recipes are easy to follow and the pictures are the best. Probably the most extensive collection of chocolate recipes ever! Don't let this pass you by. Definitely worth the money!

All chocolate lovers must have this book

I love chocolate and fess up so do you! This is a great book and if you are a novice or an experienced baker you will get rave reviews from all of the taste testers ( and there will be many ) when you make just about any of the recipes in this book.Quite a few of my holiday cookies are about to be baked.

From the simple to the sublime

What do applesauce, cinnamon, chocolate and creme de menthe have in common? How about amaretto, hazelnuts and sourdough bread crumbs? They are the unusual - yet delicious - ingredients included in the makings of an Applesauce Chocolate Cake (#44) and a Chocolate Orange-Flavored Cake with Hazelnuts (#138). They are but two of the unique recipes found in 1001 Chocolate Treats. First of all, the names of the various cookies, pies, cakes and ice creams alone can make you mad with anticipation, but the full-color illustrations of the treats are what propelled me out the door in search of an all-night supermarket stocked with kiwi fruit in the middle of March! Pictures are important. As one ancient Chinese proverb puts it: "If it don't pass the eye test, it will never make it to the taste test." (Actually, my mom used to say that - and, yes, she is Chinese.) However, the photos aren't so sophisticated that you feel as though you have to have a degree in culinary arts in order to try out the recipes in your own kitchen. They look like treats that anyone's grandmother can make - it's just that we may never have thought of using sourdough crumbs in a chocolate cake before. And if cakes don't do it for you, how about a slice of Chocolate Cherry Truffle Pie (#580) or White Chocolate Pie (#645-my favorite)? In any case, the book is definitely a delight to read and the recipes, easy to follow. Chocolate- lovers would do well to add it to their collection. Actually, there are 1010 recipes in the book. Apparently, the editors had a hard time deciding which recipes to exclude. You will see why.
