THEE book for learning how to make fudge!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oh Fudge!: A Celebration of America's Favorite Candy (Paperback)
I was given this book as a gift. I am a professional cook and have always wanted to know how to make fudge. This book has been so well used it is constantly sticky on the cover! I sold over $200.00 worth of these different kinds of fudge over a two day period at an Xmas fund raiser... so many people said over and over... fudge just like i remember from when I was a kid! just like my grandma used to make, etc. a GREAT recipe book!

The Perfect Cook Book,
By
This review is from: Oh Fudge!: A Celebration of America's Favorite Candy (Paperback)
This is the way all cookbooks should be written. Plain and simple.
The author explains the history of fudge then how to make several different bases. For the most part, she explains what each ingredient will do to the base and which variations you can make by changing the base. As far as the review that says none of the recipes come out - the author goes over this topic. Fudge will come out different everytime you make it. The are a lot of conditions in the kitchen that are uncontrollable (for me at least - air quality, humidity, distance above sea level, etc). I have made several batches of fudge out of this book. Probably in the neighborhood of 40. Due to errors on my part, I would say 25 of them came out as described. Only three I had to throw out. I was able to find other uses for the rest :o) When I was done with the book I felt like I was an expert on fudge. That is pretty much what I look for in a cookbook. When I get done with it I want to know everything I can about it. I want to know how to adjust a recipie to get what I want.

Best Fudge Book Ever!!,
By Mia Sanchez "Fudge Lover" (Wayne, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oh Fudge!: A Celebration of America's Favorite Candy (Paperback)
Terrific book. I am no candy-maker but had success with the very first recipe I made. Aptly named, Bread and Butter Fudge. Am now in process of trying variations and so far everyone is a success. I read that one reviewer said she tried all the recipes and not one turned out. She had 300 recipe failures? Can't believe it. After all, one of them, the Mamie Eisenhower one, came from the Eisenhower Library at Gettysburg and is the same one used during World War II to raise money for the war effort. I remember my Mother making it. Maybe dvaugh just needs a new candy thermometer.
