Book Review - The Chocolate Cookbook

The Chocolate Cookbook by Sarah Wilson

If you loved the I Quit Sugar books you will love this one too. It is in Sarah's chatty style, it is attractive, and it is user friendly in that there are many useful links and you can easily switch from metric to imperial and vice versa.

Contents:
Introduction
A Few Basics, Frostings
Four Pretty Healthy Brownies
Just Chocolate Cake
Sweet Mousses!
Fixes For One
Same-Same-
Things That Come In Cups And Mugs
Afternoon Tea Delights
Truffles, Barks, 'n' Balls

Sarah seems determined that we get that good old chocolate fix, but that it not be something that will send our resolve to eat healthily spiraling out of control. The recipes are constructed from quality ingredients that you will be happy to eat and share. But Sarah writes "I do need to highlight that most of the recipes in this cookbook are treats, to be consumed as just that." Just don't go thinking you can eat chocolate all day long...

The recipes include a mixture of new ideas, re-worked old favourites (lamingtons, oreas, milo, and nutella to name a few), Easter ideas, baking and desserts. I have already bookmarked a few for the lunchboxes, like the Beetroot Red Velvet Cupcakes, I can't wait to see what the boys think of these. Then there are things like cheesecakes and a Decadent Coconut Ganache Tart which are definitely going on our Friday dessert rotation.

What else can I say? It's chocolate, it's somewhat 'healthified', it's beautiful... and look you can even buy it now and be cooking in 10 minutes. Mmm, OK yes, that does sound dangerous. This is a lovely book.

Oh, one more thing. You know those e-books that you sometimes see that are kinda cheap and plain and a bit, well... amateurish? The Chocolate Cookbook is not that kind of e-book. Just in case you were wondering.

This is a little sneak peak from my iPad.
