 What a beautiful and informative book! Apr 30, 2008
By Corinne H. Smith
We really have to thank our Canadian neighbo(u)rs for this one. I've just done a bit of research on the sugaring process, and I can say that this is the nicest book on the subject. It's informative -- not only about current practices, but also about the history and culture surrounding maple sugar and syrup. It can appeal to a wide audience, from children to adults, because of the simple way the information is arranged. But best of all - it's gorgeous! Every photo is in color. You get only a taste (!) of what's inside from the stunning cover, which depicts a variety of syrup bottles. Extra bonuses include the "Flavour wheel for maple products" and a variety of recipes. Helen and Scott Nearing's "The Maple Sugar Book" (1950, 1972, 2000) may be the classic reference, but writer Janet Eagleson and photographer Rosemary Hasner should get some kind of award for producing such a useful yet lovely volume. Granted, folks who want to get into commercial sugaring should track down a copy of the Nearings' work. But syrup connoisseurs and backyard sugarers will enjoy turning the pages of this one, over and over. It's small enough to fit onto any bookshelf, yet elegant enough to grace any coffee table, year round.

Sister happy Sep 02, 2010
By SF Guy
This was a gift to my sister that has sugar maples on her property. In one season, she yields enough syrup for 5 years from one tree alone so she really needs recipes to use it for her family.
She likes the book and talked about the part that is not just recipes (history, techniques, etc.).
 Not a cookbook Mar 27, 2012
By V Davis
I collect cookbooks and I love maple syrup. I was disappointed because there are 8 recipes in this book including Maple Salmon which constitutes basting the salmon with maple. All the recipes are for the novice cook. I didn't pay enough attention to the reviews and I wish I had.
 coffee table Apr 18, 2011
By Edward Martelle
This is a very nice coffe table book. It is fine for someone who wants to play with maple syrup. I was discouraged because Iam going to run a large opperation.
Pretty and ... Feb 17, 2011
By Zachary
While this book has some very nice photos and a great history of maple syrup and the legends behind it, as far as a comprehensive complete resource on how to make it, it is not. This is a great coffee table book for someone who is into maple syrup not for someone who is learning to make it.
