These are some of the books that I keep around for reference.  Many are geared towards professionals, most are
for the average person who wants to bake a chocolate cake once in a while, or make some truffles for family at
the holidays.
All are recommended by Carter's Chocolates to add to your reference library!
A wonderful book, by a
woman intimately
familiar with all aspects
of the chocolate
business.  Loads of
information on chocolate
history, growing,
processing, and much
more.  My  favorite
chocolate resource!

An amazing book for all
levels of experience, by a
chocolatier in San
Francisco. I highly
recommend the book, and I
highly recommend their
chocolate!

I don't have this book yet!
But it is by
Scharffenberger... that
means it is going to be good.

My birthday is coming up...
Classic!  THE best baking
book ever written, if a bit
fussy with technique. for
most people.

about Rose and all her work.

If I ever need a foolproof but amazing dessert, I go straight to
Luchetti's books.  I have relied on them for years, since
Pastry school, and have never been let down!  Try the
chocolate silk cake.

Books I don't have yet, but would love for Xmas or a birthday... or just anytime.
