Book Reviews of Candy Making For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking))
Book Review: Great for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very approachable as a beginner. A lot of other candy making books assume that you have previous knowledge of the terminology and techniques of candy making. This book, however, teaches you from the ground up, so if you're not sure if you're ready for candy making, this book will provide you with the first step that you need in order to get started. Another nice thing about this book is that it provides a lot of recipes, so you'll never run out of things to try making. In particular, I found the chapters on making chocolates to be very useful. Chocolate making can be a fairly technical field, but the author of this book makes chocolate making easy to approach. If you're interested in candy making, but don't have any experience in the field, then this is the book for you.
