Claire ★★★★★

The recipes are laid out so clearly that even my first attempt at the hazelnut torte came out looking like the photo. I’ve already flagged a dozen desserts to try, and the section on chocolate-based sauces alone is worth the price.

Emma Y. ★★★★★

Didn't expect a chocolate chapter to teach me so much about Italian desserts, but here we are. The range of recipes, from simple cocoa treats to proper layered sweets, covers way more than I expected, and the ingredient lists stay short and doable.

William J. ★★★★★

The step-by-step photos for tempering chocolate finally made it click for me after years of seizing batches. I've already worked through the hazelnut truffles and the budino, and both came out silky on the first try.
