World-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier Jacques Torres suggests that we begin the new year with a resolution to eat more chocolate, and the luscious recipes in his new cookbook make that resolution easy to keep. Celebrate the New Year with an elegant dessert of poached pears with chocolate fondue, and then enjoy Valentine's Day bonbons, molded chocolate Easter bunnies, chilled chocolate almond cake on a hot summer's night, pumpkin chocolate cake at Thanksgiving, and a festive Bûche de Noël filled with chocolate cream.

Adapting all his recipes for the home cook, Torres showcases his signature chocolate creations—from traditional French pastry to his favorite American treats, which include chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cupcakes. With 150 photographs of the finished dishes,  A Year in Chocolate is a cookbook that is truly irresistible.
