This richly illustrated book takes us behind the scenes of la maison Weiss, one of the oldest French chocolate factories. Since the opening of the first shop in 1882, Weiss has been producing its chocolates from bean to bar and developing the art of blending. Meet Eugène Weiss, the visionary and audacious founder, follow all the steps involved in making chocolates, understand how the blends are designed and fall under the spell of the specialities protected in their silver-wrapped cases.
The ma Weiss chocolate makers expertly select the best beans, combine cocoa beans from several origins, imagine the taste of great chocolates, and... inspire the greatest pastry chefs and creative artisans from all over the world! This book brings together more than twenty of them: pastry chefs, MOFs, restaurant chefs, palace or boutique pastry chefs, all have been given carte blanche to give their vision of chocolate by drawing inspiration from Weiss blends and to deliver recipes that are as generous and daring as they are gourmet.
