About the Author:
Chloé Doutre-Roussel is a chocolate buyer at Fortnum & Mason in London and was head of confectionary at Ladurée in Paris. She has worked in chocolate factories and shops, runs a chocolate appreciation society, and currently spends her time tracking down the world's finest chocolates. Chloé also conducts chocolate-tasting courses and acts as an adviser to many of the world's top chocolatiers.
From Publishers Weekly:
The chocolate buyer for the London department store Fortnum & Mason has taken it upon herself to educate the world about life beyond Snickers bars; the difference between "candy" and true ("artisanal") chocolate, and then between chocolate and chocolates (bonbons); and how to learn to love the good stuff, en route to becoming a chocolate connoisseur oneself, as skilled as any wine or cheese taster. Her approach is that of an unabashed and evangelical snob, a bracing combination of Mary Poppins and Miss Manners. Along the way, Doutre-Roussel skewers some sacred cows—Belgian chocolates, Godiva—and lists with approval a dozen brands most people have never heard of, with, fortunately, mail-order and online sources to find them and instructions on how to savor them when found. This is a beautiful little book, chockfull of charming pictures, maps, charts and graphs, sidebars and boxes of advice, lore and even a few recipes. Paired with a few choco-gourmet samples, it would make a scrumptious Valentine's gift for nearly anyone. (Feb.)
