Desaulniers, chef and co-owner of The Trellis Restaurant in Williamsburg, VA, has authored three previous celebrations of chocolate (Death by Chocolate; Celebrate with Chocolate; Death by Chocolate Cookies). His new book presents 70 new chocolate recipes, from Chocolate Espresso Frenzy Ice Cream to Chocolate Gingerbread Snowflakes. Desaulniers promises that these recipes are simpler than the elaborate creations in his other books, but while there are easy cookies and the like, there are certainly some fairly complicated desserts here, too. Many of the recipes are shown in full-page color photos; a brief final chapter includes tips on shipping holiday treats. For most baking collections.

Authentic Recipes from Santa Fe

Author: Dave Dewitt

Nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe has the spirit of the Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American settlers who built it-and an exciting cuisine to match. Some of today's hottest Santa Fe chefs are incorporating the region's staple ingredients-rice, beans, squash and chiles-into mouthwatering new dishes. Authentic Recipes from Santa Fe offers the best of New Mexico's traditional dishes and a sampling of today's cooking innovations. Introductory essays provide the historical and geographical context of the cuisine, and glossaries of unusual ingredients, along with illustrated how-to sections, are included.
