I’ve had Wild Sweetness since it came out. On my first look through I wasn’t really taken with it, but over time it’s grown on me. I make the chamomile and white chocolate shortbread quite a bit. I could be really picky and say that some of the recipes are poorly written, but the flavour combinations i really like and the recipes I’ve made have worked well. I’m still tossing up about Love Crumbs. I have Nadine’s first book, but it doesn’t get the use it probably should.
That’s interesting you say that about the recipes, I haven’t looked at them yet but did think that some looked quite short for what the recipe was making. Glad to hear the recipes you have tried worked well though! I had the same feelings about Love Crumbs, and interested as I was I also don’t use Nadine’s first book much (mostly as I’m not a baking projects kind of baker that often). Since I was gifted it, it was a lovely surprise and it is a really beautiful book. Maybe one to try take a look at in a shop if you can? I think you would like it, though maybe like me appreciate it knowing it may not get well used recipe wise.
