Publisher's Synopsis
Ever since man first stumbled upon a honeycomb and tried its contents, people have steadily developed a taste for sweetness. Across the ages, honey made way for sugar, and sugar went from being a luxurious seasoning to a cheap household staple, but it has never lost its charm and continues to hold us in its thrall.
In this all encompassing collection, award-winning author Gaitri Pagrach-Chandra shows us how to create crunchy brittles, tempting truffles, sticky toffees, caramels, nougat, honeycomb and more. Join her on a worldwide story of sugar from Indian milk sweets to nutty Spanish marzipans; from tiny French sponge cakes to Scottish fudge. With over 120 easy-to-follow recipes offering small delights from near and far, this is the ideal book for all the family, for entertaining or for making and giving gifts.
