Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a christmas present for my mother but after flicking through it a couple of times (and salivating over the photos quite a lot) i decided to try out a few recipes. I was not disappointed, they're easy to follow, full of funny anecdotes and the results are not just edible (which is definitely saying something considering how badly I cook) but rather delicious!
I'm lucky enough to have visited both of their shops in London and am now content that I can recreate a small part of that at home!

Lovely looking book with great pictures. Even if you don't make anything it's still a great book for eye candy. The instructions are clear and there is hints and tips with a lot of the recipes. At the beginning there is a helpful section on storing the sweets and a list of stockists at the back. I have already bookmarked a few recipes to try soon (coconut ice and syrup sponge nuggets...yum) and then plan my gifts for xmas. Great book to give as a gift.

I love the feel of this book - it completely manages to walk the fine line between quirky and over-the-top, while giving some amazing recipes for us to enjoy. I am not ashamed to say that many friends and family will be receiving this on Christmas day! Plus, being a bit of a tv chef connoisseur, I also think Miss Hope and Mr Greenwood would be great on TV, a breath of pepperminty fresh air after all the Masterchef craziness...

Too much quirky, not enough description
I'm now scared to try any more recipes from this book than I've already attempted, as they failed so miserably. Read more

Have only made the creamy honey and ginger fudge, and it was a definite hit with my boys. Can't wait to try out some of the other recipes.

Slightly disappointed
Loved the book but really disappointed in the rose and violet cream recipe, have a friend who adores these and thought this recipe would be close to the Prestat version. Read more
