What many people think of as hot chocolate, however, is really hot cocoa - a little chocolate flavor with a lot of hot milk. In Hot Chocolate, Fred Thompson offers 50 recipes for serious hot chocolate, made with high-quality milk, dark, or white chocolate; whole milk, skim milk, cream, water, or milk alternatives; and a variety of flavorings, such as peppermint, orange, cinnamon, coffee, liqueurs, peanut butter, and raspberry - even chai tea! The book provides a fascinating history of hot chocolate and lots of useful tips on how to make fabulous hot chocolate, which kinds of chocolate to use, and how to garnish the drinks, plus bonus recipes for homemade marshmallows and perfect whipped cream. There is also a chapter on preparing high-quality homemade hot chocolate mixes that can be given as gifts. With stylish full-color photos showcasing sumptuous variety, the IACP award-nominated Hot Chocolate is a great gift for anyone who loves chocolate. Review: Perfect as a Gift - One of my friends claims to make the best hot chocolate in the world. All I have to say is that they haven't tried the recipes in THIS book! "Hot Chocolate" by Fred Thompson has the most creative recipes I've seen yet. There is even a recipe for marshmallows if you want to make everything from scratch. I tried three hot chocolate recipes and must say that I was the most intrigued with the "Vanilla Hot Chocolate Seduction." This recipe is for four but I reduced the ingredients to make it just for one. The main ingredients are milk, vanilla, white chocolate and Triple Sec. To take it up a notch I also added orange zest which I strained out after everything had heated up. It was perfectly delicious and very soothing. I will definitely make it again! My second favorite recipe was the cinnamon hot chocolate which calls for one teaspoon cinnamon. May I recommend you try Saigon cinnamon when you make it? You will be hooked! The third recipe I tried is more of a mix and it contains crushed peppermint sticks. I found some candy canes and it worked great although my husband complained at all the noise I was making to crush them. One of the things that might surprise you is that many of the recipes call for salt. I tried some with salt and some without. I don't think the salt is necessary. While most of the recipes are easy to make there are a few with ten or more ingredients which seemed a little over the top. One recipe calls for bittersweet, semisweet and milk chocolate plus cocoa powder. Some of the recipes call for more exotic ingredients like lemongrass and star anise. While I used fat-free milk, many of the recipes call for soy milk, whole milk, half-and-half or heavy cream. One recipe is quite creative and calls for marscarpone cheese instead of whipped cream. Most of the recipes call for sugar but feel free to use sugar substitutes. Stevia worked great in all the recipes I tried. Also, most of the recipes are for 2-12 servings. So you may have to adapt the recipes depending on how many people you are having over for a drink. Some things you might want on hand before the book arrives include creme de cacao, Godiva chocolate liqueur, Kahlua and brandy. But there are just a few adult beverages in this book. If you are making drinks for kids and adults at the same time, the alcohol can be added to each adult's cup at the end. One thing you might want to do when you first make some of these recipes is to halve the amount of chocolate you add. Sometimes the recipe can turn out a bit thicker than you might prefer. So if you add less to start with you can figure out how much you really want to add. I found some of the drinks were thin and some thick depending on how much chocolate I added. So you can truly adapt these recipes to your taste. This book would be perfect as a gift in winter, perhaps with a few ingredients (like gourmet chocolates) and a cute mug. ~The Rebecca Review Review: Good Hot Chocolate Recipe Book - Purchased after we had borrowed it from our library.
