 | | The significance of the book's title is that bittersweet chocolate is the most commonly used form of chocolate for baking. |
 | | Unlike white wheat flour, a relatively simple product, chocolate used for baking, that is, bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, is a rather complex product, being an emulsion of solids in an oil, cocoa butter. |
 | | In Bittersweet, Medrich acknowledges that we, her devotees, have grown up in our taste appreciation, so these recipes offer sophisticated (but definitely not daunting) information about cocoa bean content and such things that alter the outcome - how one can `play' with the composition of different chocolates to achieve a desired result. |
