The Show Bench is an exhibitors guide to the presentation of confectionery, produce and preserves for show, and is a companion to Cooking for Competition. The book is about the joys of homemade confectionery, the delight of crisp home-grown vegetables, amateur wine making, beer and mead, the aroma of freshly picked herbs, and the tang of new season preserves of all kinds. This unique book provides information and suggestions on the presentation of exhibits in competitions, particularly that great institution, the local show.
