'Every now and again a book comes along that is so beautiful you just can't sully its pages by exposing them to the splattery stickiness of a cooking session. This visually stunning collection of recipes for bakes, pickles, infusions and confectionery will inspire even the most slap-dash cook to hoard pretty ribbons, card boxes and vintage jars worthy of these sumptuous makes. Great for yummy mummies.' --Great British Food

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is broken down into 5 chapters. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and celebrations. Like all cookery books I tried some of the recipes. The Turkish Delight, stollen, shortbread's and the marshmallows all worked incredibly well. Some of the recipes need a couple of hours of prep and obviously because of the type of ingredients for all but the pickles, comfits, jams and chutneys will not store for very long. The pictures are fine and give an indication about possible presentation whilst the instructions are clear and concise. This cookbook is a keeper. I find its sweets/desserts excellent and would put it on a par with the superb Hope & Greenwood confectionery book "Life is Sweet".

I was given this gorgeous book by a friend, and I have just ordered another 2 books for gifts. This book is what it says in the title irresistible homemade presents, it is going to save me a fortune in making pressies for loved ones especially at this time of year, and no doubt I'll have hours of untold fun in the kitchen with my kids, cooking is our fave past-time. I can't wait to try Sea-salted caramels, I'm only worried about how many I might eat! This weekend we made love Heart sugar cubes for my parents wedding anniversary and no-one could believe I had actually made them. There are also lots of lovely presentation ideas which is something I usually get stuck on. Brilliant!

I love this book - so much so that I'm inspired to write my first ever Amazon review.
The gift ideas are numerous, high quality, easy to follow & I can honestly say there is nothing naff whatsoever (unlike so many project / craft books).
The photos & packaging ideas are brilliant.
Another reviewer has mentioned short eat by dates - I don't agree! Firstly there is a good variety, & secondly as these recipes have no nasty ingredients in, it is no surprise that they won't last forever, besides they look so good that they won't be left around long enough for it to be a problem anyway.
