Quick, Easy and Delicious - Chocolate!

Chocolate anyone? Having purchased other books by Reader's Digest I have come to appreciate the amount of information available under one cover and with Chocolate Sensations I wasn't disappointed. There is a variety and ease of use that doesn't require a staff or a long list of exotic and hard to find ingredients. Each recipe has a photograph to accompany it and each recipe fits on one page. If you cook, you know turning a page is often difficult with sticky fingers! Filled with recipes ranging from casual to more formal events, this is an easy to use resource that covers the gamut of chocolate delights. There is a section on Cakes, Cookies, Pastries, Pies and Tarts, Quick Breads, Soufflés and much more. Examples include Chocolate Icebox Cake, Cocoa Yogurt Cake, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake. Lots of ring cakes and Bundt cakes to take on outings or to events that won't keep you in the kitchen for 6 hours! That's just the cake section............ I made the Frozen Chocolate-Orange Terrine last week (takes about 15 minutes + freezing time) and took it to work. I used my Le Creuset Terrine and doubled the recipe, serving it on a long platter with orange slices around the edge and a side of whipped cream. (OK, that took an extra five minutes!) I own many complicated, labor intensive, hard to find ingredient Chocolate books and I'm happy with them for what they are. I am equally happy with this new book when I need something tasty and easy to make with ingredients I generally have on hand.
