This holiday season, there is a new cookbook on the shelves: There’s Always Room for Chocolate, written by Naomi Josepher, Jon Payson, and Georgia Freedman, a Santa Barbara native. The recipes hail from Josepher and Payson’s hip Brooklyn café, The Chocolate Room, and the book is packed with rich, decadent desserts and includes that dreamy character we know as chocolate.
Beware: This book is impossible to read quietly on your own. After staring at the Spiced Molten Cake photo for a good 10 minutes before coming back to reality — and don’t even get me started on the Chocolate Stout Float or the Black-Bottom Butterscotch Custard — I was quickly accosted by my two young boys, who jumped on my lap and started flipping pages to decide what we’d bake first. I’d suggest the Chocolate Pecan Pie, which would be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving and holiday meals.
