Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Cinder toffee

    • Melanie on March 03, 2012

      p44. I had a couple of issues with the recipe but want to try and make again. The honeycomb didn't set nicely ie didn't snap into pieces and was quite chewy. Perhaps I just needed more patience / work quicker.

  • Rum and raisin fudge

    • Melanie on March 03, 2012

      Not a huge fan of this fudge. It tasted ok but the grainy texture was quite off putting.

  • Proper peanut brittle

    • Melanie on March 03, 2012

      p74. This peanut brittle is a winner. Tastes great and breaks into proper brittle chunks - hard not chewy.

Publishers Text

In this jolly little gem of a book, Miss Hope and Mr Greenwood offer 50 of their most delectable sweet recipes - delights such as toffee and fudge, coconut ice, gums, jellies, nougat and, of course, perfect hand-made chocolates. Like the confectionery they sell in their shops, everything in the book will recommend the use of the best ingredients, including fresh cream, butter and natural vanilla, and never use artificial flavours. You will also be treated to a delicious array of sweet stories, historical anecdotes and scandal which are guaranteed to make you chuckle. Exquisitely designed and lavishly photographed, "Life is Sweet" will tap into the current nostalgia for the confectionery we remember from our childhood and allow us to indulge our sweet tooth to the full.
