BAI, 2017. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good Minus clamshell box.

Despite the many phenomenal talents in the world of sugar and chocolate sculpting, Belgian chocolatier Stéphane Leroux’s eye-catching, reality-altering work remains unparalleled.

Bleu Chocolate (2017), published in partnership with the Belgian chocolate company Belcolade, is the chef’s spectacular third book. Two sleekly designed volumes in a navy blue clamshell box, the set serves as both a monument to the chef’s career and as an inspiration to those who will follow in his footsteps.

The first, slimmer volume, bound in blue cloth, is the artistic lookbook. Tom Swalens’ photography captures Leroux’s trompe l’oeil chocolate sculptures, isolated from any context that would hint at their edible nature. A work of art on its own.

The second, larger volume, bound in faux marble paper, provides the technical know-how required for such masterpieces. Step-by-step photography, along with explicit instruction, covers everything from making your own silicone molds and silkscreens to spraying cocoa butter with an airbrush and forming petals and leaves out of tempered chocolate.

An invaluable resource for professional pastry chefs, but also a visually stunning statement for the artistically inclined. Our set of books are both Near Fine. The clamshell box has suffered some wear and tear and was previously reinforced with tape. It still holds strong.
