This book and the other Fine Chocolates series by Jean-Pierre Wybauw is for professional pastry chefs and advanced chocolatiers who want to get their hands to make the best chocolates for everyone to love. This is written for the pros and advanced chocolatiers and candy makers who want to venture and also several recipes that are innovative in flavor and creativeness in taste and combining new flavors. It also talks about extending shelf lives of different recipes much longer since water makes it much shorter. He differentiates different sugars, and other key components, so when you develop your own unique flavors of chocolates -- it may create new flavors, and extend its shelf life at the same time.I recommend having all of the Fine Chocolate series written by Jean-Pierre Wybauw for every pro pastry chef and/or chocolatier.
