Books by Michael Recchiuti

Michael Recchiuti started his own confection business in 1997, and his creations were quickly recognized for their sophistication and originality. Since then he has been featured in a variety of publications, including The New York Times (his were the only chocolates recommended in the 2004 Christmas gift roundup article), Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, and The International Herald Tribune, which called him the most interesting chocolatier in the United States. He lives in San Francisco with his wife; this is his first book.
