L'autore:

Carol Tennant is a member of the London N1 Women's Institute and the author of several cookbooks, including Good Kitchen Magic, Knead, and What’s Cooking: Fish & Seafood.

The Women's Institute was formed in 1915 to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. It has since grown into the largest national women's organisation in the UK and has long been known as a leading authority on home cooking. A combination of maintaining traditonal values while grappling with contemporary issues has raised the profile of the organisation, which is continually expanding.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

A larder full of rich and colourful preserves conjures up a pleasing picture of seasonal ingredients, country kitchens and good home cooking. Let the expertise of the Women's Institute in all things practical guide you through the preserving process without the need for special equipment and hours of stirring and waiting.
Choose from traditional favourites such as strawberry jam(with a version for the freezer), mint jelly, grapefruit marmalade, lemon curd and green tomato chutney. Or, if you want to be more adventurous, try making Membrillo (quince cheese), Zesty blueberry marmalade, Rosehip jelly, Date and banana chutney or Sweetcorn and red pepper relish.
