Book reviews:
“There have been countless books on marmalades, jams and chutneys over the years but First Preserves concentrates on a carefully selected collection of recipes that you really want to make, rather than hundreds of recipes you’ll never attempt. It’s one of the most authoritative books on the subject I’ve encountered.” Mark Taylor - Food Editor of Bristol Evening Post, Cotswold Life, and Editor of Crumbs Magazine.
