Disappointed,
By Book Bint "Book Bint" (UK, Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Candy Book (Paperback)
Never judge a book by its cover. Because the cover is the only really good part of this book. There are no other pictures so a lot of guesswork is involved. The measurements are all in American so lots of conversion is required (I am still unsure how you measure a cup of butter - do you have to melt it first?) but most disappointingly, the majority of the recipes are how to take a series of ready made items and rearrange them to make something else. There are some recipes from scratch but you have to hunt for them. They also use lots of US brand ingredients that you would have to substitute for.
Tempering chocolate is never fully explained and the method suggested is not the easiest to follow. It is also repeated endlessly :-( Overall very disappointing.

Good recipes, bad for the beginner...,
By "kovert" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate Candy Book (Paperback)
I purchased this book as one my first to learn about the art of candymaking, before I really made much.I got it, read through it and found the recipes looked tasty but were seemed to assume some degree of expertise despire the attempts to lay out the basics early in the book. I ended up setting it aside in favor of other books to help me learn the art. Now that I'm more familiar with "the art", I've gone back to this book and made a handful of the recipes with extreme success. In short, a good book for your collection, but not the place to start. 31 of 31 people found the following review helpful:

TONS of recipes to satisfy any appetite but no photos,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate Candy Book (Paperback)
The author provides alot of valuable information on what kinds of ingredients to use and what kinds of tools to use. He's included MANY clear, concise recipes. Unfortunately, there are no photos at all; there are only simple black and white drawings here and there. If you can get past the lack of photos and can do with imagining how your candy would look like, buy this book.

An evil book. Should be banned.,
By Joanna Daneman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate Candy Book (Paperback)
Not only are there traditional homemade favorites here like divinity, but you can reproduce commercial treats like caramel turtles and chocolate cherries. Only much better.Since a lot of commercial candy tastes full of additives, chemicals and too much high-fructose corn syrup, it's great to have recipes to make your own. Only problem is that these are TOO good. So make them as gifts and wrap them up before too much damage can be done. Or wear a hockey mask a la Hannibal Lecter. This book is evil. These are just too good. You've been warned. |
