Hi all,

Some time ago I ran across a huge and very expensive book by a chef at Valrhona that included only savory chocolate recipes. Since then I can't manage to find the reference again. Does anyone know what that book is called? I know that Amazon.com did stock it.

Best,

Alan

Fusion Chocolate by Frederic Bau?

Posted

also available at JB Prince a little bit cheaper

while not focused entirely on chocolate, the Duby's of Canada also have a book which is a sort of savory/sweet fusion type book (Wild Sweets II, I think)

Fusion Chocolate by Frederic Bau?

That's the one. I thought that you might know. In fact, I think that we may have briefly talked about this book when we were in NYC.

Thanks!

Thank you. I have run across the Dubys' site and books, and will have to look into the books a bit more one day.

Fusion is on my short list of books I've wanted for a long time and can't believe I don't already have. I'm going to have to remedy that situation soon. I have both of the Duby's books and love them. The first one isn't focused entirely on chocolate (but it shows up fairly often despite that), the second one, Wild Sweets: Chocolate does indeed incorporate chocolate in some form in every recipe in the book including sections on fish, shellfish and meat. I've been having a lot of fun with both books.

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.
