A Great book-full of wonderful recipes. Especially good recipes for people looking to cut back on sugar because maple syrup is a good substitute.

This gorgeous book is an elegant and extensive tribute to that most regal and glorious of sweet foods, maple syrup. Mr. Turner has a true love of all things maple syrup (it is one of my favorite foods, as well) and the book is a paean to that food. He has been so kind to share his knowledge and experience with us through this book, and I appreciate that.

Mr. Turner explains how he became involved with maple syrup, the history of maple syrup, the processes and cultures surrounding maple syrup, the biology of the sugar maple, the nutritional and chemical composition of maple syrup and so many other things connected with maple syrup.

And then there are the recipes. Many of them traditional, some of them not, and all of them containing delicious maple syrup. Such a nice section of the book.

The photography and writing are excellent. Mr. Turner has a very clear and personal writing style. I felt as though a good friend was sharing his love and knowledge of maple syrup with me.

A fabulous foodie book. Well worth reading, especially if you love maple syrup!
