 | book review Nov 3, 2008 |
Great book for a candy maker. Has wonderful pictures, descriptions, recipes and tells you what can go wrong so you can correct the potential problem up-front. It is broken down by holiday. I especially like the history that comes with each recipe.
Excellent present for a chef who likes to make candy! | | |  | Go to the local bookstore to preview first Jul 8, 2008 |
There are a lot of 'easy' recipes (melt/mix and you're done), and a few completely unrealistic recipes (who can REALLY make ribbon candy at home?)
I got the book on sale, and I love collecting cookbooks, so I don't consider it money wasted, per se. But, I've only used a couple of the recipes/ideas from this book; most are a little too simple for my tastes. | | |  | Don't waste your money Sep 28, 2007 |
| there were a few good recipes, but other than that, a waste of money. Not only were alot of the recipes not "common" or even appitizing, but the printing was very bad. In the middle of the book, they duplicated about 20 prior pages and then left out about 30 additional pages. I was so upset, I contacted the supplier. They did give me my money back, but I was very disappointed. there are a million other books to get if you're looking for a candy making book. don't buy this one. | | | | As fun to look at as it is to use Jun 1, 2007 |
| I love this book! It has delectable candies in it that I've never seen elsewhere, such as Golden Heart Passion Pops, red heart-shaped lollipops with gold flecks. They're keyed to seasons and holidays, so you have ways to orient yourself and choose which ones to make. My five-year-old son pores over this book for hours, commenting on the candies and planning which ones to make. It's really gotten him involved in cooking, and it's fun for both of us. The recipes vary from quick & easy to quite long, but even the long ones are spelled out very clearly, with helpful suggestions about keeping the candy, who will like it, and so forth. I'm actually buying my second copy of this book because we spilled water all over the first. This book is a treat in itself. (I want to add that I have no connection to the author or publisher!) | | | | From marshmallow peeps for Easter to Christmas Ribbon Candy and hand-formed Chocolate Leaves for Thanksgiving Jan 7, 2007 |
From marshmallow peeps for Easter to Christmas Ribbon Candy and hand-formed Chocolate Leaves for Thanksgiving, HOLIDAY CANDY & CONFECTIONS: SWEET TREATS ALL YEAR LONG is a guide which may have missed our December issue, but which holds importance and value far beyond a single season. Each recipe offers a full-page facing page photo of the completed item, and each recipe teaches basic tricks of the candy-making trade, from tempering and using dry ice on molds to choosing a special type of chocolate to produce a polished finish, or using a leaf-shaped cookie cutter on jelly to make leaves. If you've made candy before you're used to one-dimension cookbooks which either offer recipes alone or go into great detail on advanced techniques: this one offers a bit of both and is far above most in ease of use and polished results.
