When I was little my mom made real marshmallow and it was...phe-nom-en-al. Three foods I consider myself to have really had: home-grown tomatoes, fresh baked bread, and real marshmallow.
So now, as I try out my Holly Homemaker wings, I'm getting more and more interested in making these things myself. But my mom hasn't made marshmallows for years, and can't find her recipe. Hmmm.
I tried looking up recipes online, the modern girls' answer to most queries, but I merely got scared of the technicali...more

If you've ever had a fresh, made from scratch marshmallow, you know the flavor and texture is so different from the store-bought bags that it's like a different food entirely. The fresh one, that's what a marshmallow should be.
Shauna Sever starts her book with an introduction to the key ingredients, sugar, gelatin, water, salt, vanilla extract , coating and corn syrup. The corn syrup is used for consistent results in small amounts, substitutes can be tries and she suggests a few. I used an organ...more

You never would have had me believe that a book all about marshmallows would be exciting, but I am here to tell you that I am excited to dig into some of these recipes!
Shauna Sever writes about the history of marshmallows, as well as in easy to follow steps how to make delicious marshmallows such as key lime, chocolate malt, chocolate mint and even Margarita... marshmallows good enough to be given as gifts and served as deserts!

“Wait, you can make marshmallows?” That’s how our current Book of the Month, Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever, begins. How does it end? Very happily, with a container full of homemade marshmallows. If you are a connoisseur of the fluffy sweets, then you must pick up this book!

I found my first marshmallow recipe about 5 years ago... Even though store bought marshmallows weren't something I got excited about, I was intrigued by the idea of making them from scratch. Since that first experiment I've been hooked and have a whole new appreciation for them. My rating for this book is based mostly on my understanding of her concepts, the ease of which her recipes read, the variety of styles covered throughout the book and the initial batch I've made since I finished reading...more
I've only made a few of the recipes in this book so far, but I ended up with delicious and delightfully puffy marshmallows! I've had problems getting consistent marshmallows in the past; they usually ended up thick and chewy rather than puffy, melt-in-your-mouth squares of amazingness. But with this book, I've achieved some awesome results and will probably continue to be a regular marshmallow maker from now on.
Excellent marshmallow cookbook. Easy to follow directions. Good array of recipes as well. I'm glad she figured out how to make marshmallows with alcohol, because I couldnt figure it out. This is a good cookbook for those just starting out as well as those who have been around the marshmallow block. She even has a section about calibrating the candy thermometer. Fantastic!
Ouu! Everything about this book is so CUTE and DELICIOUS! Even the cover is puffy! Eek! I would love to try my hand at making some of these recipes but honestly, I think I would fail and I just don't have the tools. :{ But soon.. very soon.
This book has some creative recipes and ideas, I haven't made anything yet, but it seems like it will be easy enough with the experience I have. My only complaint is that not every recipe has a photo. Other than that, I really like this book.
This book has so many beautiful pictures are awesome recipes and variations there of. I'm a marshmallow woman and love the many flavours of mallows, and how easy this book makes it!
Fun, pretty little book with clear, easy to follow marshmallow recipes, quite a few with imaginative spins.
You can't go wrong with lots of colorful and amazing marshmallow recipes!
Very helpful information on successful marshmallow making, including how to add fresh and canned fruit purees and interesting fillings. Not enough information about making all the cool shapes on the cover (!) and recipes or at least ideas for what to actually do with the marshmallows after you make them. Because seriously, exactly what does one do with a hundred Honeyed Apricot Marshmallows?
def want to try the classic vanilla marshmallows, the strawberry, margarrita marshmallows and the fuzzy navel marshmallows :)
