Sweet!: the delicious story of candy
Canadian non-fiction, Food and drink
Human-narrated audio
Summary
How candy makers through the ages have transformed bee barf, mammal secretions, aphid poop, stem sap, root pulp and bean fat into the yummy sweets we love - from ancient Egypt's marshmallows to modern fudge, gummy worms, and chocolate-chip cookies.… Also describing treats popular around the world, the authors cover processes and ingredients and include visits to a jelly-bean factory, a chocolatier, and a private kitchen before finishing with a mouthwatering trip to a candy store.
