Preserves: River Cottage Handbook No 2 by Pam Corbin (view source)

Like Jane Grigson I felt that Pam Corbin knows far more than she has the space to tell us. She's had a lifetime working in the food industry and the experience shines through. Recently I was somewhat surprised to hear the Prime Minister pontificating about food waste – I suspect that wide readership of this book would achieve far more than his words could ever expect. If you only buy one cookery book this year I think it should be ''Preserved''.
'''Update'''
I revisited this review some five years after the book was published and I'm still surprised by how often I refer to the book. I've just used the recipe for Seville Orange marmalade and produced the best marmalade we've ever tasted - not too sweet but with an excellent flavour - and the blackcurrant jam which I make with the glut from the garden is our favourite jam.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
