Chocolate lovers in Seattle immediately beat a path to Madison Street to taste desserts as wonderful as anything in Paris or Belgium. Over the past two decades, Fran Bigelow has grown into a worldclass chocolatier, operating two elegant shops that enjoy cult status in Seattle and beyond, by way of her mailorder and Internet business.Now, in her debut cookbook, Fran reveals the magic behind her addictive creations: how she manipulates a few ingredientsbutter, cream, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and nutsto create sublime textures and highlight pure flavors in her elegant modern desserts. The seventyfive recipes included here range from extravagant celebration cakes and holiday specialties (White Chocolate Torte or Souffld Chocolate Mocha Roll); to European style fruit and nut tarts (Chocolate Cherry Tart or Milk Chocolate Crme Frache Tart), souffls, cheesecakes (White Chocolate Brie Cheesecake, a Fran specialty), homemade ice creams (Dark Chocolate and Ginger Bombe), and extraordinary renditions of American classics, including brownies, chocolate cookies, the ultimate hot fudge sauce, and a chocolate milkshake that will instantly transport you back to childhood.Fran also tells you everything you need to know about chocolate, from the different styles of chocolatemaking employed in Europe, South America, and the U.S. (and how each result in different flavors), to deciphering labels (which ingredients enhance meltability, for example), and how the amount of cocoa in different brands and styles of chocolate influences the final taste of a dessert. You will learn how to taste a trufflepreferably in two bitesand the language of chocolate signs, the squiggles atop candies.
