Miss Hope's Chocolate Box: Fudges, Fairy Cakes, Truffles and Other Splendid Recipes

Nice looking book with lots of nice recipes but bought from Amazon for£15.86 but inside the front cover it's marked at £12.99 🤔

This is an excellent book for starting with simple chocolate recipes. I had never made chocolates before, but wanted to make some as Christmas gifts. There are also more advanced recipes for when I am feeling stronger, have more time and more experienced! Its quite a messy business this chocolate making, so I would recommend wearing surgical gloves. Cut down the time in washing sticky hands all the time. I did however get a little fed up with the extra bits of info I didnt need. i.e. "Mr Arthur Whitlow at the 1953 Pigeon and Ferret Fanciers Fair with just a single blow to the left buttock". Funny comments here and there are scattered through the book, but I would prefer just to keep the recipe pages for that alone. I dont need to do the extra reading.! But on the whole very enjoyable and a book I will use again and again.

I have just got interested in making chocolates this book was fantastic for recipies and ideas and so easy to follow and full of humor finding it hard to put down and my friends loved the chocolates I have made so far

love the recipes...trying them out with the help of my grandaugther....like the way the book is written as if it is spoken very sharp sense of humour..love it

Not quite the book I thought it was, I wanted something a little more basic, never having worked with chocolate before, but some yummy recipes, and looking forward to trying more.

This is a very well presented and photographed book. It has quirky and original introductions and descriptions - but the recipies were slightly unusual for my taste. I was hoping to find a range of traditional recipies as an introduction to sweet making - but instead I got recipies such as Pear & Chestnut Truffles, Prunes & Brandy Ganache and Brandy Almond Dates. 90% of the flavour combinations left me, personally, cold. I'm looking forward to trying maybe 3-4 recipies, but that is all - far to exotic for my conservative taste buds.

This book has lots of personality as well as interesting information. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to try the tempting recipe as I ended up giving it away as an emergency prize at our local street party but had fun browsing it before this happened Miss Hope's Chocolate Box

This book was bought for a 13 year old with a very sweet tooth for Christmas. It was full of interesting and fairly straight forward recipes with clear instructions and attractive illustrations. My niece loved it and was keen to get making.

Awesome book.

Was very interesting but did not contain everything that I thought it would.
