The January 2007 issue of Chocolatier Magazine said of Chocolate French, “After reading only a few pages, it is easy to become enamored and awed with all that chocolate has to offer, as well as more than a little hungry…all in all, this book is as beautiful, rich and intriguing as the subject it espouses.” It takes your mouth on a chocolate trip to Paris.
