Chocolate Love Story Review a real donation and #giveaway

October 31, 2009 by Momstart 113 Comments

9780316056625_154X233 Chocolate A Love Story is sitting on my kitchen counter just waiting to be used. I love chocolate. Love it love it love it. I had to look at the photos, now the weird thing is that it is like it’s from the 1960’s. The photos make me smile but everything just makes me want more chocolate. I know it would make a great coffee table book or bathroom book that people just love to look at. I looked at the recipes and they all look simple enough to try except for the ones that I have no idea how to make them, like a brioche. One of the recipes that I really need to try is Veg-out chocolate cornflake TV wraps. Oh man the calories that are in this book.

Chocolate: A Love Story: 65 Chocolate Dessert Recipes from Max Brenner’s Private Collection

 

Product Description:

With gigantic vats of churning chocolate, desserts like their famous chocolate pizza, and 12 varieties of hot chocolate served in custom mugs, Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald Man has turned their line of hip, colorful themed restaurants into an international sensation..   Chocolate: A Love Story is a vibrant new cookbook that includes 65 original recipes narrated in the quirky, captivating voice of Max Brenner, the restaurant’s visionary founder and "bald man." Bold original illustrations inspired by Art Deco poster graphics, full-color photographs, easy-to-follow, delicious recipes, and a serving of Max’s unique vision for spreading "chocolate culture" around the world make this book a must for every chocolate lover.

About Max Brenner:

Max Brenner is a confectioner, businessman, and above all, a passionate lover of chocolate. He began his career as an apprentice throughout Europe, where he worked in the best kitchens alongside renowned pastry chefs. It was in Europe that his love for chocolate evolved into passion, leading him to open a small chocolate workshop in his homeland of Israel. Many years later, Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man is now a thriving international brand, committed to spreading Max’s vision of Chocolate Culture to the world.

    I expected the “locations” to be stores- a few of us did a “chocolate tour” the other year in NYC. However, apparently it’s a restaurant. I’m surprised I’d never heard of Max Brenner- I worked for 9yrs at a major chocolate/candy company and thought I was familiar with a lot of the names. Guess not. 🙂
