Sweets Book Description
In "Sweets," Tim Richardson takes us on a magical confectionery tour, letting his personal passion fuel the narrative of candy's rich and unusual history. Beginning with a description of the biology of sweetness itself, Richardson navigates the ancient history of sweets, the incredible range and diversity of candies worldwide, the bizarre figures and practices of the confectionery industry, and the connection between food and sex. He goes on to explore the role of sweets in myth and folklore and, finally, offers a personal philosophy of continual sweet-eating based on the writings of Epicurus.
A delicious blend of anecdote, history, and investigative reporting, "Sweets" is the perfect gift for anyone who loves candy.
Tim Richardson has contributed to Sweets as an author.
Tim Richardson's grandfather worked in a fudge factory, and his father was a dentist. He is a contributing editor to "Wallpaper*" magazine, a theater critic for "Country Life," and a regular contributor to the "Daily Telegraph" and the "Sunday Times," He lives in London, where he is currently in the process of refining his own particular candy invention.
