Hot chocolate is all grown up! Once thought of as just a children's drink, hot chocolate is now a conoisseur's delight served as an indulgent dessert at fine restaurants, as well as in coffeehouses everywhere and in the comfort of cozy kitchens. What many people think of as hot chocolate, however, is really hot cocoa - a little chocolate flavor with a lot of hot milk. In "Hot Chocolate," Fred Thompson transcends the powdered hot cocoa of our youth, with 50 recipes for serious hot chocolate you can easily make at home using high-quality milk, dark, or white chocolate; whole milk, skim milk, cream, water, or milk alternatives; and a variety of flavorings, such as peppermint, orange, cinnamon, coffee, liquers, peanut butter, and raspberry - even chai tea!
Filled with sumptuous photographs of the delectable drinks that will inspire you to head straight for the kitchen, "Hot Chocolate" is the ultimate indulgence for anyone who loves chocolate.
