You had me at "Chocolate" and closed the deal with "Quick and Simple". The selection of wonderful chocolate sweets in this cook book is excellent with a full selection of breakfast items (e.g., Chocolate Breakfast Muffins), cakes (e.g., Chestnut and Chocolate Truffle Cake), cookies (e.g., Flourless Chocolate Cookies), puddings (e.g., Chocolate-Cinnamon Pudding), pies (e.g., Gluten-Free Creamy Chocolate Pie), ice creams (Espresso-Drizzled Ice Cream) and meringues (e.g., Mocha Meringues). The savory dishes with Chocolate (Chocolate-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs, Beef & Been Chili with Three Chocolates, etc.) were a nice surprise. And the meal plans (complete with shopping list) were a nice bonus). The only thing holding me back from giving this book 5 stars (I wish I could give it 4.75) is that I would have liked photos of the dishes to accompany the recipes.
