Welcome to the web site for my new book, Marshmallows: Homemade Gourmet Treats!

It's true! Now you can make your own marshmallows - and marshmallow fluff - at home, in 45 minutes or less, using all natural ingredients. AND THEY ARE VERY INEXPENSIVE TO MAKE! All you need to make them is a stand mixer, a candy thermometer, and a heavy saucepan with a lid. (And don't you be intimidated by the candy thermometer! It's really your friend - put it into the saucepan and wait for it to tell you that your marshmallow base is done. That's as intimidating as it gets.)

WHY HOMEMADE? Homemade marshmallows are fluffier, creamier, and much more delicious than store-bought varieties. And homemade fluff isn’t gummy; it’s light and creamy and flavorful. The recipes in my book are made with all-natural ingredients – that means there are NO preservatives, NO artificial flavors, and NO emulsifiers or other unnatural ingredients.

Imagine sinking your teeth into a soft, creamy banana marshmallow deliciously flavored with fresh pureed banana, or serving a dollop of homemade chocolate-flecked marshmallow fluff on a simple chocolate cake next time you entertain friends. (Did you know that you can serve this fresh, homemade, fluffy treat as a fat-free topping anyplace you would use whipped cream?)

Marshmallows: Homemade Gourmet Treats contains step-by-step instructions for making your own homemade marshmallows and marshmallow fluff, plus dozens of recipes for delicious flavors, including Raspberry-Creme de Cassis, Peach, Chocolate, Lemon, Dulce de Leche, Banana, and a lot more. Fluff varieties include Concord Grape, Espresso, Butterscotch, Green Tea, and many others. The book also includes ways to use marshmallows to make tasty desserts, unusual special occasion adornments, or to give as gifts. 

Look for it in bookstores or buy it now on eCookbooks.com, a cookbook site with some of the best pricing on the internet.
