New raw materials are used, which have proven their usefulness and are at times indespensable, such as sugars, fats, substitutes etc. The shelf life of pralines is also becoming increasingly critical. This beautifully illustrated book, designed by Jean-Pierre Wybauw deals with the most frequently used raw materials in an understandable language and explains how they impact the quality and shelf life of pralines. The many new recipes respresent a delight for the eyes and taste buds. The third in the Fine Chocolates series, this book is another must for the kitchens of professional chocolatiers, experienced amateur cooks and chocolate lovers.
