MAST BROTHERS CHOCOLATE

Rick and Michael Mast, two bearded Iowa transplants who have set up shop in über-trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn -- are the only chocolatemakers in the country dedicated to producing truly hand-made craft chocolate. Their distinctive bars are wrapped in exquisite custom papers that they have designed and are sold at specialty food shops around the country and around the world.

In MAST BROTHERS CHOCOLATE: A FAMILY COOKBOOK they share their unique story and recipes for classic desserts like chocolate cookies and cakes, brownies, bars, milkshakes, and even home-made whoopee pie. And, the almond chocolate cake is to die for. With striking color photographs throughout, this cookbook celebrates the vision and allure of Mast Brothers Chocolate, the leaders of the craft chocolate movement and the choice of the world's great chefs.
