Book Reviews of Candy Making For Dummies
Book Review: techniques valid, recipes suck
Summary: 2 Stars
The overall techniques in the book, such as tools you need, how to temper chocolate, the science behind candy making are good and presented in a way that is enjoyable. The recipes are where this book falls very, very short. I have made 3 of them now and they all were bad. The caramels never set, the jellies are way too soft and the cherry creme centers are also to wet and too soft and softened in the tempered chocolate. The ingredients you need to make candy are far too expensive to be wasting. All these recipes should have been tested, how do you publish a cookbook without testing recipes?
I'm very disappointed in my purchase. Would be home candy makers would be better served getting their recipes off the internet. Of course while your scouring the web for recipes you can learn the techniques you need making this purchase completely unnecessary.
