Reviews
Maple Sugaring takes readers into the forests and sugar shacks of New England. Filled with entertaining anecdotes, traditional knowledge and recipes, this book on one of America's favorite breakfast staples is as informative as it is poetic. --Tracey O'Shaughnessy, Waterbury Republican-American
Former Maple Sugar Producers' Association of Connecticut board member David K. Leff waxes poetic about drilling trees for sap, lugging hundreds of gallons back to his garage to boil down into a few drops of fresh maple syrup, and the raw chapped hands and broken back that resulted in his new book. -- New Haven Magazine (2/1/2016 12:00:00 AM) David Leff's engaging new book demonstrates that while Vermont remains the largest producer in the country, there are sugar makers everywhere the sugar maple grows. He not only brings a wealth of historical knowledge but also a great degree of enthusiasm to the subject... Maple Sugaring is a lively and accessible general introduction to the subject. --Heather Munro Prescott Connecticut History Review (4/1/2016 12:00:00 AM) Leff's word pictures of people, places, and the community they make are well drawn. They should appeal not only to readers with an attraction to maple sugaring, but also to anyone interested in rural New England. --Heather Munro Prescott Vermont History (8/1/2016 12:00:00 AM) Maple Sugaring takes readers into the forests and sugar shacks of New England. Filled with entertaining anecdotes, traditional knowledge and recipes, this book on one of America's favorite breakfast staples is as informative as it is poetic.--Tracey O'Shaughnessy Waterbury Republican-American (12/23/2016 12:00:00 AM) David's book includes an age old recipe for a maple cocktail which includes bourbon, maple syrup and fresh lemon juice which was the inspiration to bring Chris and David together. --Charity Folk, Simsbury Patch Bulletin Board
