It is with great pleasure that I introduce my latest book, which I have entitled “Cokorico”[1], the symbol of our craft around the world.It is the product of five years’ labour and fine collaboration with my son, Paul KLEIN, for his work in candy making. I concentrated on the content in order to provide you with as many technical sheets as possible, as well as all my creations since my previous book, “Legend”. I hope that these most recent creations will delight and inspire you.My philosophy and sources of inspiration can be summed up in this quote from an artist who I especially admire, Michelangelo:

“If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.”

I consider this book a veritable bible.
