"Reading the book is like having an expert at your side, sharing beloved recipes that celebrate one of the world's greatest ingredients—all with the rigor, wit, and sense of delight that are David's signatures." - Claire Saffitz, author of Dessert Person and What's for Dessert

Pastry chef and professional baker David Lebovitz is a master of perfectly pitched desserts and irreverent humor—a combination that has won him and his books hundreds of thousands of fans.

In this fully updated edition of The Great Book of Chocolate, Lebovitz discusses the history of chocolate, bean-to-bar producers, chocolate shops in Paris (and his time working in a Belgian chocolate shop!), while also sharing invaluable tips for baking with, sourcing, storing, and using everybody's favourite ingredient. Fifteen new recipes join Lebovitz's classics, for a total of more than fifty recipes, including Melting Chocolate Cakes, Chocolate Cherry Buttermilk Scones, Chocolate Espresso Cookies, Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie, Vegan Chocolate Marshmallows, and even a Chocolate Negroni.

Featuring all new photography from Paris and San Francisco, The Great Book of Chocolate, Revised, is a sweet treat for home bakers and chocolate lovers alike.

He is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous cookbooks, including My Paris Kitchen, The Perfect Scoop, Ready for Dessert, Revised, and Drinking French, and two memoirs, The Sweet Life in Paris and L'Appart. He was named one of the top five pastry chefs in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle.
