Isabel Coe’s La Dolce Vita is a rich and engaging narrative, the story of a family expressed through their shared and continuing love of chocolate. Remarkable anecdotes are intertwined with an abundance of sumptuous chocolate recipes passed down through four generations of women. Whether it’s her great grandmother's nutty Weinacht Guezi or her grandmother's chestnut jam, her mother’s rich, rum-laced Chocolate Mousse or Isabel’s own extravagant Saffron-infused Mendiants with Crushed Pepper and Edible Gold Leaf, there is something in the alchemy of grating, melting, and mixing chocolate that sets it apart from all other forms of cooking. -- amazon,com
