Shipman, the sugar and spice lady of Nancy's Fancies Santa Rosa confectionery, gives easy basics on everything from deciphering the mysteries of chocolate(temperature and the simple eye of attention) to the rotund sugary heights of balled truffles and popcorn. Shipman -- who is understandably unable to escape such titles as A"yummies" -- offers straightforward recipes that utilize few special tools (the microwave is as high tech as it gets) and whose titles promise plenty of "foolproof" results. Hard to beat that.
