Book Description
The Chocolate Set tells stories only hinted at by geneology charts and lists of ancestors. It is fiction, but it is true fiction. I call it heritage retrieval. Erik Axel Norrling will be the last of his family to enjoy the comfort of landed gentry status in rural 19th Century Sweden. Problems with his own workers reflect the labor unrest and terrible living conditions of the lower classes. Early on, Erik Axel discovers the powerful lure that emigration to America holds out to them. He also discovers the thrill and addiction of racing horses and betting on the outcome. As his passion for racing grows, his management of the farm declines and family resources suffer. Bad weather, failed crops, illness, and labor trouble follow. By the time his wife births their first child, Anna, Erik Axel is deep in debt. When he loses the estate to foreclosure, they are forced to move into a rude worker's cottage. Crop failures and bitter winters suck the family toward extinction as a small part of a national crisis that leaves thousands dead of starvation and hoards of children begging door-to-door. Maria dies and Erik Axel and young Anna are left to carry on alone. Her desire to escape rivals that of the hoards of young people who are emigrating to America. Anna never realizes her dream. That is left to her daughter, Klara, who grows up in the shadow of her troubled family. Only her grandfather, Erik Axel, has time for her. Time to inflame her heart with stories about a country across the ocean where a man can own land as far as the eye can see. When Erik Axel dies, Klara is sure she has been sentenced to a life of drudgery. Returning home from the burial service, the sun breaks through the gloom and Klara realizes a new day is coming.

Book Description
Make your decadent dreams come true with this chocolate-covered collection of more than 200 foolproof recipes that showcase the treasured dessert ingredient--from delicious morning baked goods and pick-me-up treats to rich after-dinner delights for special occasions. Chocolate may be the most universally loved (and craved) flavoring, and Everything Chocolate is the definitive guide to any sweet treat you can imagine featuring it, for any time of day. Wake up with streusel-topped Chocolate-Walnut Muffins that are easy to make or professional-grade Chocolate Croissants when weekend time allows. Pack lunches with pleasing Milk Chocolate Revel Bars or serve Magic Chocolate Flan Cake or Chocolate Pavlova with Berries and Whipped Cream after dinner. Much of why we fall for chocolate is because it brings back memories of candy bar snacks and sneaking just-baked chocolate chip cookies while they're still warm (we have the best recipe). We channel the nostalgia in recipes like Chocolate Fluff Cookies and Frozen Snickers Ice Cream Cake. But chocolate is also a grown-up favorite for black-tie desserts--think low, lush slices like Blood Orange Chocolate Tart or ganache-enrobed Chocolate-Pecan Torte (we'll teach you how to get a perfectly smooth coating). The full range of chocolate recipes is here, avoiding the pitfalls of unbalanced chocolate flavor (too bitter or too sweet) or dry, crumbly baked goods (chocolate contains starch and we've learned how to mind it). Become a home chocolatier by learning all about chocolate nomenclature, how to shop for the best-tasting cocoa powder, when you should use chocolate bars versus chips, decorating dazzling desserts with chocolate, and how to make candies and cookies with shiny, snappy chocolate coatings with our shortcut to tempering.

Book Description
A young widow. A husband she thought she knew. Will a chocolatier’s secret destroy the family left behind? "A solid pick for fans of historical romances combined with a heartbreaking mystery.” – Library Journal San Francisco, 1953: Heartbroken over the mysterious death of her husband, Celina Savoia, a second-generation chocolatière, resolves to take their young son to Italy’s shimmering Amalfi coast to introduce him to his father’s family. Just as she embarks on a magical, romantic life of making chocolate by the sea surrounded by a loving family, she begins to suspect that her husband had a dark secret—forged in the final days of WWII—that could destroy the relationships she’s come to cherish. While a second chance at love is tempting, the mystery of her husband’s true identity thwarts her efforts. Challenged to pursue the truth or lose the life she’s come to love, Celina and her late husband’s brother, Lauro, must trace the past to a remote, Peruvian cocoa region to face the deceit that threatens to shatter their lives. In The Chocolatier, Jan Moran, an international bestselling author of the contemporary Summer Beach series, and the historical novels The Winemakers and Scent of Triumph from St. Martin's Press, offers a testament to the power of forgiveness and the resilience of love, along with insights into the world of chocolate-making. The Chocolatier is also available in audiobook. For readers of Danielle Steel, Renee Rosen, Susan Meissner, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Chanel Cleeton, and Gill Paul. “A novel that gives fans of romantic sagas a compelling voice to follow.” – Booklist “Jan Moran is the new queen of the epic romance.” – USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster Excerpt: One chocolate truffle had changed her destiny. Indeed, it was one of Celina’s best—a silky cocoa powder-dusted truffle filled with raspberry-infused, dark chocolate ganache and enrobed with a couverture, a layer of rich chocolate that melted optimally with the warmth of the body. After she had offered one to a weary, dark-haired soldier who had just returned from the European front, he introduced himself as Tony Savoia, an Italian immigrant whose family had owned and operated Cioccolata Savoia before war rationing had made sugar difficult to obtain. And so the journey begins...give yourself the gift of The Chocolatier now.
