5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book; a 'must-have' for your culinary library!, October 7, 1999

By	Bobbi Morton (Raymond, Maine) - See all my reviews

This is an all-round, terrific publication. It is well written, with easy-to-understand instructions and tips. The authors have created outstanding recipes using readily available ingredients with suggestions for numerous variations. An excellent choice for first-time enthusiasts. Following the sections on to liqueur and brandy making, the authors have devoted a third portion of the publication to cooking with your creations. This modest little book is definitely well worth the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, especially for beginners!, February 8, 1999

By A Customer

When I first got this book I had never made liqueurs, but the directions in this book were so easy to follow that even my first batch turned out great. Three years later I'm famous among my friends and family for making great liqueurs! Their versions of kalua, tia maria, frangelica and vanilla are some of my favorites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent beginners guide., October 9, 1998

By	Gabrielle ([e-mail]) (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews

This book gives a great overview on the basics of making cordials and liqueurs at home. The step by step intructions to set up and explanation of terms used in other texts and this one make it easy to start from nothing. I have only been working with liqueurs about 3 years and have won both contests I have entered using batches from recipes in this book. For SCA, members this is not a great research book, but it tells you how to make fantastic tasting stuff!
