Bring the joy of chocolate into your home with fascinating stories, tantalising treats and irresistible creations devised by the world-class chocolatier, Paul A. Young.

This delightfully decadent book is a love letter to chocolate, from the very fundamentals of what chocolate is, to tips on how to taste and buy it.

Discover chocolate‘s cherished place in our rituals, festivals and popular culture, delve into the anatomy of a cacao bean, discover where the best chocolate is made, and enjoy 40 delightfully decadent chocolate recipes as Paul unlocks the secrets to creating perfectly balanced flavours and a world-class shine.

One of the UK's most celebrated master chocolatiers, and a presenter on BBC2 TV
series The Sweet Makers, Paul. A Young is at the forefront of the British chocolate scene. He has a reputation as a flavour alchemist who incorporates unusual ingredients into his
wonderful confections: his sea salted caramel was the first of its kind to win a gold award in the 2005 Academy of Chocolate Awards.

Whether beginner or confident cook, The Joy of Chocolate shows how to make the very best chocolate recipes. Joyful and original, each one encourages you to experiment and indulge, from layered cakes and creamy mousses to the best ever hot chocolate, praline truffles and more.

This is a celebration and appreciation of all things chocolate: not just the cacao beans, but the cacao growers, the chocolate producers, the chocolatiers, the marketing and branding teams, and of course, the consumer.
