ALICE MEDRICH
brings on the BITTERSWEET:
RECIPES AND TALES FROM A LIFE IN CHOCOLATE. Yet another
phenomenally entertaining, educational, and useful book from the
"First Lady of Chocolate", Bittersweet is the culmination of
Alice Medrich's life in chocolate: groundbreaking recipes, profound
knowledge, and charming tales from a life in chocolate. The Bay Area
has been spoiled yet again, with the wide availability of the "new"
chocolate; some parts of the country are just beginning to see
darker, European-style chocolate. These chocolates feature a higher
percentage of cocoa bean solids and less sugar, which guarantees a
deep intense flavor. As availability and our tastes' have evolved,
recipes have not. Medrich, credited with initiating the chocolate
revolution in the 1970s after introducing high-quality chocolate
truffles and desserts at her landmark store Cocolat, poured
her 30 years of experimenting and perfecting chocolate into this
wonderfully designed volume. Known for her clear-cut instructions,
Medrich cracks the code for using higher percentage chocolates in
recipes, providing all the necessary information to use any type of
chocolate in her soul-satisfying recipes, from Chocolate Cheesecakes
to Chestnut Tortes. "I have worked with this celestial ingredient
all my adult life, participated in its renaissance, and cultivated
its transformation from common candy to divine dessert. What happens
next with chocolate is connected to what came before, and yet
perhaps it is even more exciting. This book is my look at the past
and a look to the future." This event is a talk and "taste", and
you'll find every chocolate question, every technique, and every
secret answered! 7 PM at Fourth Street
