As a nation, there is no denying that we have a sweet tooth - and classic treats such as sherbet fruit drops, Everton toffee, vanilla fudge and chocolate honeycomb, have stood the test of time. MRS BEETON'S HOMEMADE SWEETSHOP is a gorgeous and beautifully illustrated recipe book for the home cook, packed with delicious sweet treat ideas for any occasion.

All of the recipes have been drawn from Mrs Beeton's original BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT meaning that we can all recreate a little bit of Victoriana in our own kitchens.

Media Reviews
In this age of healthy living and conscious cookery, this book is an anarchic offering. It is all about sweets - those forbidden but hardly forgotten treats of childhood. With this tome on your shelves they can again become an everyday addition to your diet. * The Lady *
