Jacques Torres' A Year in Chocolate

My favorite chocolatier, Jacques Torres has a new book out and if it is anything like his other releases, I think ware are in for a treat!

Let your New Year’s resolution be “Eat more chocolate.” With Jacques Torres’ A Year in Chocolate as your guide, you won’t have any difficulty sticking with it from January right on through December.

From the elegant Poached Pears with Chocolate Fondue to serve on New Year’s Day and a festive Bûche de Noël filled with chocolate cream and ornamented with meringue mushrooms, to homemade Easter eggs and autumnal Pumpkin Seed Brittle, the world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier presents us with a calendar’s worth of treats sure to make every celebration more luscious.

Oh man, I can't wait!

OK, so I have been bad...

I know, not very many new reviews on MyChocolateJournal.com lately. Well, it's not all my fault. Sure, the best chocolate bar I have had in the past couple weeks was a Snickers (one of my favorite everyday bars), but you guys could be adding a review or two every now and then right?

The last good bars I had were from Amedei. I finally had a Chuao bar and also a Number 9 bar. After all the hype, it was still a really good bar.

With any luck, I will have something new to post after this weekend. We are off to Orlando (the long arduous 90 minute trip from St Petersburg) for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. We have seen Fredrick Schilling of Dagoba there last year and someone from Callebaut a couple years back. Maybe we will luck out and fall into some chocolate.

But for now, share the love! Post a quick review about a bar you have recently tried. And if you have any problems, let me know.

Loss of a chocolate hero: Scharffen Berger's Robert Steinberg dies

I was very sad to hear today that one of the founders of Scharffen Berger Chocolate, Robert Steinberg, died yesterday.

If you have not read the book "The Essence of Chocolate" by Steinburg and his partner at SB, John Scharffenberger you should take a look. Through the pages you will get an understanding of how and why SB chocolates came into being and how we were blessed with these exception chocolate bars over the years.

Scharffen Berger's website homepage has been replaced with this tribute to Steinburg. To read more about this loss, you can read this statement from Scharffen Berger or read one of the many articles on Google.

If you are not familiar with Scharffen Berger chocolates, you can get more information and read some reviews on mychocolatejournal.com.
