"The cover photo of that luscious chocolate cake with chocolate ruffles and a chocolate band is just the beginning of what you will find within this treasure of a DVD. The master chefs of these pieces are mostly from the US (one actually being a transplanted Frenchman by the name of Jacque Torres; recognize him?)and with one recipe from the French master of chocolate, Robert Linxe of Le Maison du Chocolat in Paris. I thoroughly enjoyed both watching and creating these desserts, with some being a tad more detailed, though nonetheless, possible to create.
There are eight different "chocolate passions" within this disc. They are:
Chocolate Terrine
Creme Brulee
White Chocolate Mousse Cake
Meringue with Chocolate
Chocolate and Drambuie Souffle
Meringue with Chocolate
Chocolate Ganache (our friend Robert Linxe)
Chocolate Fontaine (our friend Jacque Torres)
President Cake
I had purchased the VHS format many moons ago, when "DVD" just meant letters from the alphabet. I'm very glad that it is now available in the DVD format, which can withstand the constant playing and replaying that many of us "chef wannabe's" tend to do. I think you will be quite pleased with this small, but enjoyable, menu of dessert items.
