Editorial Review Product Description Bruce Weinstein, author of The Ultimate Ice Cream Book, has the answer with this collection of confections. Try his rich chocolate truffles or any one of a dozen variations; sweet, chewy caramel with almonds or coconut; buttery pralines with crunchy pecans; or light-as-air divinity, nougat, and marshmallow. Craft your own candy Christmas ornaments to hang on your tree, pipe chocolate spiderwebs for a scary Halloween touch, or whip up meringue kisses for your honey on Valentine's Day. Bruce even offers step-by-step instructions for creating your own homemade versions of classic favorites like peanut butter cups, gummy bears, and chewing gum. If you have a sweet tooth or know someone who does, The Ultimate Candy Book -- filled with hundreds of year-round treats and gift-giving ideas -- is ultimately satisfying. Customer Reviews (18)

time-life candy
A Classic
Time-Life Guide to English Candy The book is divided into two parts.The first part contains mini-lessons on how to perform candy-making basics, complete with detailed series of pictures.Note that this book was actually written in England, so the recipes have a decidedly British slant.The section entitled "Bright-hued disks of hardened syrup" is your basic hard candy, but it is never called as such as is described as simply a method for making lollipops.Missing is the wide variety of colors and flavors possible.Also curiously missing are instructions for using hard candy molds to make nice little shapes and lozenges of all descriptions.It has instructions for making barley sugar, which is unknown to Americans.It has hard to find instructions for making fondant and marzipan in the home kitchen from scratch.The section on tempering and dipping in chocolate is confusing, as two entirely different things-pure chocolate and summer coating-are kind of squashed together in the same procedure.Some of the procedures involve dipping chocolate or summer coating, but never refer back to section on tempering as reminder that the latter must be followed in lieu of the short description in the procedures on dipping.I also find basic the description of how to cook sugar to be inadequate.Being English cookery, a large amount of space is devoted to pulled taffy, and also to marzipan confections.The instructions for nougat are also faulty: if followed literally, the syrup will cool and harden before the egg whites are ready. Several elements are missing.Most important is the lack of safety information.The easiest way to end up in the emergency room at the hospital is to burn yourself with super-hot sugar heated to 300 degrees.You will not find a dissertation on the various types of sugars, syrups, or cooking utensils.Also missing is any information about the fancy copper sugar pot used in many of the pictures (which retails for about $125 last time I checked), or anything about how to care for or clean it.You must be careful about choosing the pot you use for cooking sugar, but this advice is missing from the book.You will also not find anything on apples dipped in soft caramel or fresh fruits dipped in caramelized sugar, both very popular American confections. The second part is a collection of 265 recipes gathered from many books and the four corners of the globe.The main problem is that the editor did little more than translate the recipes procedures and ingredients to their modern equivalents.The recipes were changed as little as possible to retain the original mood, but this also means that the procedures by and large have not been vetted and corrected.Therefore, you should not assume that the recipes in the second part are as reliable as the pictured procedures in the first part.Some of the recipes require several of the procedures from the first part, but these are not always reliably indicated in the recipes; the neophyte is left guessing.Most of the recipes I did (mostly brittles and toffees) required additional steps from the first part of the book, but were not in the recipe itself.A number of the recipes are very interesting and produced wonderful candy, if you can get past the inadequate instructions. The greatest asset of the book is the listing of books in the bibliography.Although the list stops in 1978 when the book was written, the list is one of the best I know of for those trying to build a library of candy cookbooks. ...

If you only have one cookbook, make it this one
Great kitchen common sense! Use separate cutting boards for meat and veggies to not cross-contaminate theboards with bacteria. Didn't my biology instructor mention something aboutthe kitchen housing the most bacteria of any room in the house? Add waterto your food when cooking it in a microwave so the steam can kill thebacteria. Yes, he also lectured on how bacteria thrive and die. Dropfrozen veggies into boiling water while they are still frozen to preserveVitamin C. And never soak any fruit or veggie in water for longer than aminute so large amounts of vitamins and minerals won't be lost. Therewere so many wonderful tips; my computer geek friends were beginning totake an interest. Did they know which baking powder was aluminum free?Could they tell the difference between a fresh and cooked egg withoutbreaking it? Did they know how to reduce the gas content of beans?Moreover, if they knew how to keep a bottle of champagne from bubblingover, did they know how to keep a pot from doing the same? By now, myaudience was asking for the name of the book and where to get a copy forthemselves. It was just amazing how many wonderful tips there were. Someseemed like good old common sense, and yet I don't remember my mothermentioning them. Never defrost those herbs before cooking...measure honeyin oiled utensils...submerge lemons in hot water for 15 minutes for twice thejuice on squeezing...the list goes on and on. Candy's book has it all, aswell as a collection of fine recipes interspersed with historical tidbitsand a nutritional analysis of each meal. Give it a look. You won't bedisappointed!
Sure hope we can get 50% of the ingrediants the author uses
Great book!!! Candy is a living testimony to the fact that she practiceswhat she preaches.Good nutrition is vital to live a healthy, vibrantlife. You go girl!
Contains many tasty and nutritious recipes |
