This is a pretty little book, so pretty that I didn't just
scan the recipes to keep, but the little retro pictures along the way.
This book is about chocolates - truffles, palmiers, fudge, and little cakes -
so I might as well stop trying to convince you to read it because you've
already gone to the library/book shop/wherever you obtain books. If
you're still here, I don't know why, but let me continue. Miss Hope is
very funny, and her humour extends past her introduction into her delicious-looking
recipes. I haven't tried any as yet because most of the ones to my taste
require a sugar thermometer, and the only one I can find is in Stevens and is
$16+. I do, however, want to try the Black Forest Fudge that doesn't need
tempered chocolate, but it asks for glacé
cherries which I can't stand. So I have to figure out a substitute.
I could see myself buying this book because it has a rather wide range of
yummies, not just truffles, just baking, or just fudge; and because it is just
so pretty (and naughtily funny)!
