using real, natural ingredients for everything from flavor-packed fruit

Jami Curl, candy-maker extraordinaire and owner of the candy company Quin

has been called the "new Willy Wonka" by Bon Appetit. Her debut book, This is

Candy, includes the recipes that have made Quin a favorite with local and national

media, foodies, chefs, and bloggers. But This is Candy is not just a candy book.

Instead, Jami's approach to candy forms the foundation for a world of other

confections—from bacon glazed with maple and black pepper caramel to a clever

Chocolate Magic Dust that can be turned into chocolate pudding, chocolate sauce,

and even a chocolate lollipop. Packed with more than 200 recipes for totally

original confections like Whole Roasted Strawberry Lollipops, Bergamot Caramels,

Fig & Coffee Gumdrops, and Pinot Noir cotton candy, as well as serious tips and

advice for making amazing candy at home.
