For me, one of my favorites, and she has quite an inspirational story, is Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges. She was featured on girl crush. http://girlcrushoftheday.blogspot.com/2010/02/katrina-markoff.html

Brendan's answer is mine #1 by all means:
Peter Greweling's Chocolates and Confections is an outstanding reference for artisan chocolate technique. Clearly written, extra description of certain points if you want it, and great photography.
Might al…
