Thank you NetGalley, Chronicle Books, and Michele Song for this e-ARC Chocolate Lover. As a chocolate lover, the title appealed to me. After reading it, I know I will soon have it! It is well organized with beautiful photographs. There are 60 recipes for every kind of chocolate in every form that range from easy to difficult so everyone will be happy. And, it is informative on how to work with chocolate for delicious results.

This book!!! Wow!! So many stunning pictures to look at and delicious treats to make. I am a chocolate lover and am excited to try these recipes. There are tons that are new to me and I love that this book is not filled with the same old tired recipes.

This book was so cool! I, like a lot of other people, love chocolate and incorporating it into different recipes. The decadent recipes included in the author, Michele Song's, book sound so delicious and I definitely plan on making many of these recipes in the future. I also love the pictures that are included with this cookbook as they really bring the recipes to life. There are also really creative recipes included in the book such as Peanut Pretzel Toffee Bark, Cocoa Tahini Marble Cookies, and Chewy Mochi Brownies, all of which sound exquisite and delicious. I think a lot of people will enjoy this book and the recipes featured in it.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book!

As soon as I finished flipping through the eARC of "Chocolate Love," I clicked over to Amazon to pre-order a hardcopy because I NEED this in my cookbook library. Michele Song has created an ode to Chocolate and I am here for it. I loved how she got a little science-y and nerdy about chocolate and baking to get us started, and I liked all of her recommendations and suggestions for tools, ingredients, and pantry. When doing a cookbook where the featured ingredient is brown, you run the risk of the photography looking pretty monotone. Not the case here! This was beautifully shot, working the full palate of browns and capturing so much beautiful texture and details. The recipes themselves are well organized and appear to be written in a way that should be easy to follow. Can't wait to try the Pumpkin Chocolate Babka, Peanut Butter Chocolate Buns, and the Chocolate Old Fashioned Doughnuts. Oh, and all the cookies look amazing, too!

Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the eARC, in exchange for this honest review.

Thank you so much netgalley. My 17 year old son loves cooking with me and we had so much fun with this book! We made the chocolate chip cookies and I must say they were the best cookies we have ever made. So excited to try the rest of the recipes!

Beautiful cookbook! The recipes are decadent, approachable, and unique. I love the creativity and hints of Eastern inspiration that are in some of the recipes - i.e., chewy mochi brownies, matcha, and Japanese milk bread. I can’t wait to try the banana chocolate chip scones. Definitely pre-ordering this book as it will be a staple go-to in my kitchen. Grateful to #NetGalley for the ARC.

Review written after downloading a temporary book galley from NetGalley.

First off, as a chocoholic this book appealed to me from the outset. Once I began delving deeper in the book, I noticed that this book is phenomenal for those with a sweet tooth. I love the tips and tricks in the beginning, and even as an avid baker, I learned several new techniques. I loved how even though each review contained some type of chocolate, they were very diverse with the other ingredients such as the use of fruit. The photos are beautiful and really entice the reader to want to make the recipes. I like how some recipes include variations to change up the recipe, if desired. Overall, I think this is a great idea for a cookbook. It is well executed with delicious recipes and clear instructions. I would definitely recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. The recipes look great and I can’t wait to try them! I love how there’s a picture to go with each recipe.

I was able to test 4 recipes from this book and every one was a hit. This book is formatted very well and has gorgeous photography. Recipes were clear and the included pantry and equipment lists were thorough without being overwhelming.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

I love chocolate! This book really hits the spot.

The author begins by discussing the various types of chocolate and the products she uses for her recipes. She moves on to talking about the kitchen tools for success in baking her recipes.

Each recipe has a beautiful mouth watering picture accompanying it. It inspires one to try out the recipe! I love cookbooks with photos of each recipe.
For my baking style, this book is a bit too advanced. Each recipe has more ingredients and more steps to it than I usually undertake. However, I still would love to have a copy in my cookbook library, if only to take it out at times and marvel at the author’s creations in chocolate!

If you love baking with Chocolate and you love eating chocolate and you love beautiful pictures of chocolate, this is definitely the cookbook for you! So many wonderful recipes. Yum!😋 I thank Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read and review this cookbook.

Beautiful cookbook full of great recipes and mouthwatering photos! There are 60 recipes including cookies, brownies, cakes, tarts, sweet breads, pastries, and more, all featuring white, milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate. I enjoyed reading through it and looking at the beautiful photos. So many recipes to try and they all look amazing! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

YES! This book is absolutely amazing. I tend to really love cook books that focus on one ingredient, especially when they give you all of the ins-and-outs to really learn about that ingredient. Its a full learning experience, coupled with gorgeous photos and great recipes. Highly recommend this one for any Chocolate Lover!

A wonderful cookbook for chocolate lovers who are looking to level up their baking skills. This is definitely what I could consider an Intermediate level cookbook in that, even though it explains everything very well, it does seem to expect the reader knows their way around the kitchen already. I loved how Song explains the different kinds of chocolate - I had heard of black cocoa powder before but didn't know what it was until now nor that I should mix it with regular Dutch process cocoa if I don't want my bakes to be crumbly. I am also a fan of the tips and techniques explanations - when to use chips vs chopped chocolate, how to infuse heavy cream, and the caramelizing white chocolate techniques especially!
My favorite recipes are the malted hot cocoa mix (I love malted milkshakes so this was an easy one to add to my pantry), the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies made me want to immediately edit my own tried and true recipe, the double chocolate zuccini cake (I grow zuccini and am always looking for more uses for it), and the Irish cream ganache!
I was also surprised by many of the recipes as some of them, like the lemon cream tart, I would never have expected to find in a chocolate recipe book!
This book would make a fantastic addition to any kitchen library and a perfect gift for bakers and chocolate lovers.

Do you want some decadent recipes that contain chocolate - this is the book for you !

You will also learn how to make ganache, how to caramelize white chocolate and how to infuse heavy cream!

These recipes look delicious, a pro must have taken the photos! You will enjoy making strawberry matcha white chocolate bark, white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, creamy chocolate cheesecake bars, and the lucious - looking Gateau Concorde with chocolate meringue and creme fraiche mousse!

As a chocoholic, I was in heaven with this book. I was super excited to find new treats to make with my obsession and I am happy to say I was not disappointed. I have at least 5 recipes that I want to try and make now! It has so much helpful information like the different types of chocolate, tips on the different ways to bake it, and it even let you know what other equipment you need for baking.

I love when cookbooks have recipes that include a picture of the finished dish. The instructions were clear and easy to understand especially if you have never baked before. The ingredients were easily visible. I also loved the little blurbs included some of the author’s memories about the dish. I will definitely purchase this when it is released.

Thank you to Michele Song and NetGalley for this e-ARC and for feeding my obsession.

Chocolate Lover by Michele Song is amazing! The pictures are full of rich, decadent, ooey, gooey chocolate and I could not get enough! Anything and everything you could ever want in chocolate is covered. The start of the book gives all the essential background on picking the right chocolate or cocoa, some tips, and tricks, including equipment, and then the fun begins. Traditional staples are included, but I was inspired by so many new ideas. Cookies, cakes, bars, white chocolate, dark chocolate, simple, complex, light and airy and dark and heavy. Every recipe has a picture to guide and inspire your own attempts.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

How can anyone say no to this book? The cover picture is drool-worthy and the title "Chocolate Lover" itself is good enough for me to want to read this book asap. And, this cookbook delivers everything I wanted in a cookbook! I can't wait to get my hands on this book when it's published and will probably gift it to dear friends and family members.

The author goes into depth about different types of chocolates, equipments, and ingredients and etc. for any level of bakers and the photos alone are worth reading. So beautiful and you can picture what the end result should look like which is a big plus for any bakers. I usually do not gravitate towards cookbooks that showcase one star ingredient, but this one is exceptional. There are recipes for cookies, bars, cakes for everyday and special occasions, pies, and donuts and I really appreciate it having a picture for each recipe. I also like the format and how well it's organized and written in a way the recipes look approachable and "not" intimidating. Truly a dream cookbook for any chocolate lovers and home bakers!

This cookbook is a must for anyone who loves cookbooks and I cannot recommend it enough!

* Thank you, NetGalley and Chronicle Books, for an advanced copy for review.

Pinching myself to make sure I haven't died and gone to chocolate heaven!

As I was skimming through the book I landed on something quick and simple, Anytime Chocolate Snaking Cake, OMG, it was moist and amazing. All recipes are easy to follow, with simple ingredients and an image of each recipe. I will be adding this book to my cookbook shelf. Heck, just run on over to Amazon's website and take a look at the images of this book and you'll see for yourself what surprise recipes await you.

The contents are as listed: Sweet treats, cookies, brownies and bars, snacking cakes, celebration cakes, pies and tarts, morning treats, fried and chilled, and bakery favorites. Not all recipes are chocolate so something for everyone in this book.
