Maribel Lieberman, the Honduras-born entrepreneur, chocolatier and owner of renowned chocolate boutiques MarieBelle, in New York and Japan, has released her first entertaining/cookbook called MarieBelle Entertains: Savory and Sweet Recipes for Every Occasion from the Master Chocolatier

With 240 pages filled with recipes, photos and personal stories, this showpiece is the perfect gift for those looking for menu ideas featuring multi-cultural flavors and entertaining tips. Maribel takes the reader around the world with a breathtaking collection of recipes including a traditional Honduran beef stew, sweet corn pancakes, yuca fritters, duck confit, a variety of refreshing salads, creative and classic cocktails and an assortment of decadent desserts.

MarieBelle products have been featured by both Oprah and Countess LuAnn amongst others.

Maribel Leiberman was born and raised near the cacao fields of Honduras and as a young girl she made and sold sweets to the local community. She emigrated to the U.S in 1978 and studied at the Parsons School of Design where she developed her innate sensibility for luxury foods, fine food and elegant fashion. She launched her entrepreneurial career in the 1990s with Maribel Gourmet Cuisine, a catering enterprise servicing high-profile clients, U.S diplomats and a U.S President.

In October 2000, Maribel opened the doors of her first retail shop, Lunettes Et Chocolat. This was an eclectic boutique offering designer eyewear and handmade chocolates. Shortly after in 2001, Maribel opened MarieBelle New York in Soho which quickly gained a following from local and international customers with discerning palettes. Word about MarieBelle NY and her unparalleled Aztec Hot Chocolate made its way to Oprah which she announced as one of her favorite things. MarieBelle NY is recognized as a top chocolate house with stores in New York and Japan.

The book ($50) is being published by Rizzoli, and will be available nationwide on September 24, 2024.
