Rare is the treat a book that will not only impress your friends on your coffee table but teach you something valuable as well.
Couture Chocolate gives detailed information how to undertake chocolate making skills at very highest level but remains a readable joy to flick through and drool over.
You may remember I reviewed this book shortly before Christmas:
William Curley is one of the country’s top chocolatiers, having worked at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants with a number of the most respected chefs and pâtissiers in the business. Couture Chocolate is an astonishing homage to chocolate patisserie. Beyond being any other chocolate cookery book, it demonstrates in pictures highly skilled techniques that go into creating the most elaborate chocolates and desserts. For most people this is very advanced and would see little further action than oo-ing and arr-ing on the coffee table, however if you were someone wanting to set up their own chocolate business this publication would be an inspiring and beautiful textbook.
I am delighted to have three copies for Maison Cupcake readers to win by following the instructions below.
Couture Chocolate: A Masterclass in Chocolate by William Curley is published by Jacqui Small in hardback RRP £30.00. (Although currently at the bargain price of £19 on Amazon.)

I was at a chocolate festival and tried some of Thornton’s not yet released range. I don’t normally like Thornton’s, but these lemon chocolates were absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to buy a whole stash of them!
Lindt
Booja Booja truffles!
[...] Three copies of William Curley’s Couture Chocolate! [...]
Green and Blacks dark and Mint
I love a good chocolate truffle, have even attempted to make them myself.
A book that details and gives an insight into the world of chocolate patisserie. I love it! A good old chocolate cake is still my favourite way of eating it!
The best is still Royce Chocolates from Japan.
cadbury’s dairy milk
Lindt Lindor
The best chocolate was one that my hubby bought for me on Valentine’s Day a couple of years ago. It was a Valentines Limited Edition!

Absolutely Gorgeous!
I really like Green and Black’s caramel crunch. Lindts Creme brulee is very decadent and Montezumas chocolate Lime and chilli is surprisingly zingy and warm. No it has to be booja-booja choclate truffles for sure! I just can’t make up my mind!
i love milk tray think it has something to do with the advert years ago
all becouse a lady love milk tray : )
got to be lindt
I love Chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A sample from a Hotal Chocolat shop- yum!
It’s got to be Cadbury’s
Hotel Chocolat caramel buttons – it’s the texture as much as the flavour.
Hotel Chocolat Box of marzipan chocolates
The best chocolate ever is Milk chocolate Lindor!
honey white chocolate! YUM
I had some amazing chocolate in Paris from a little chocolate shop, sadly the name eludes me as I’d had a couple of glasses of wine with lunch, but the memory makes my mouth water.
It’s a toss up between Artisan du Chocolat and William Curley’s salted caramel truffles. They’re both so good that I couldn’t choose between them!
ANYTHING from Hotel Chocolat!
Guido Gobino from Turin makes the best praline in the world.
the best ever chocolate was a coffee cream filled one from Boule in LA, sadly they are not longer in business- which is a huge pity!
Great competition!
Ooh, tough one between Lindt Lindor and Hotel Chocolat’s milk and white choholate!!
Has to be Green and Blacks, but I dont mind Bournville if I cant find G&B
I adore the white chocolate Lindt balls!
I love Cadbury’s Dairy Milk.
Although Lindt is my stand-by, I also love Bonnat!
Thorntons chocolate especially when it’s in a cute shape i.e. easter bunny etc. 35 but a big kid at heart x
I was in Belgium and went to a chocolate cafe and tried all different types plus a hot chocolate. It was just gorgeous.
Loved the hot chocolate served in Barcelona. Can’t find it anywhere else.
The Lindt chocolate reindeer my now-husband bought me on our first date
I may be a bit biased
