About the chocolate e-books in the web shop

CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide

In the web shop you will find the bestseller "CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide", which is my extremely practical textbook regarding the making of chocolate bonbons. The e-book is available in both Danish and English, and it has been sold in lots of copies in Denmark and throughout the rest of the world.

"CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide" contains an enormous amount of practical tips for all stages of the work process, which are beneficial for both beginners who wishes to learn how to temper chocolate and work with coloured cocoa butter - and for practiced and more experienced makers of chocolate bonbons.

The e-book also contains 24 recipes for fillings for chocolate bonbons, including recipes for many different varieties of chocolate ganache. All fillings are balanced, taste great, and have a shelf life of 1-2 months. By this is meant that all the fillings will taste great for the first 2 months but that a few of the fillings will taste of more in the first month. In the e-book you will also get directions for various decorating techniques and designs that you can use if you want to decorate your chocolate bonbons with coloured cocoa butter.

In addition, "CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide" naturally includes detailed and easy-to-understand step-by-step guides for tempering chocolate and coloured cocoa butter, and you'll also - step by step - be guided in the decoration of moulds, making shells, filling the shells, and capping the bonbons.

In the e-book you will also learn how to achieve beautiful, shiny chocolate bonbons, and the e-book also has a whole chapter just on airbrushing with coloured cocoa butter. The chapter contains everything you need to know about airbrushing related to chocolate bonbons, including bringing your airbrush to life, getting to know your airbrush, and getting a handle on what to adjust if the airbrush doesn't spray evenly and nicely (or doesn't spray at all).

"CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide" also includes chapters on the physics of chocolate tempering, on the properties of different sugars (including why it is a good idea to combine several different sugars in a ganache rather than just using glucose syrup), on cleaning moulds and equipment, about storage and shelf life of the chocolate bonbons, and recommendations in relation to equipment and ingredients.

In the shop you can see the table of contents and selected pages from "CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide".
