Daughter, a co-worker and I loved this one. It reminded us of a chocolate truffle which daughter and I love. I opted not to go for all the bells and whistles by not making the Vanilla Mascarpone Cream nor the Salted Carmamel and just serve it plain. Maybe next time I’ll go all the way and add all the toppings. We loved the crust as well which was the recipe from pag 207 and had almond flour and all-purpose in it. The almond taste went great with the chocolate.

I'm glad this is a good book - every time I see the cover, I just think of <a href="https://food52.com/the-piglet/judgments/88-brooks-headley-s-fancy-desserts-vs-a-kitchen-in-france">that piglet review</a> which is totally unfair. But there it is.

I'm really enjoying cooking from this book. I probably wouldn't have even bought it though if I hadn't been invited to join several bloggers in doing a Weekend in France cook along adventure. I checked the book out from our library first and then got hooked. We started out cooking from this book and Cafe Boulud Cookbook but are now only formerly cooking from A Kitchen in France. I agree the piglet review was unfair.

Yea. It was an unfair review, but oh boy did it every make me laugh.
