Fab little book August 10, 2008
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I bought this as a gift for my husband as we are huge River Cottage fans and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. He made a fabulous berry jam out of a pile of berries we foraged for. A week later, a neighbour gave us about 3lbs of plums and he made a divine plum and walnut jam. His next plan is marmalade and chutney. A really, really great little book and one I shall be giving several people for Christmas.
A book worth preserving! August 9, 2008

I love this book! Before you even get to the recipes, it just looks and feels so lovely. Wonderful photos and such a nice 'tone' to it, very easy to read.
I'm not a huge jam fan - I'll be concentrating on the chutneys - but just reading the jam recipes is so seductive... makes you want to try everything.
All The River Cottage books I have are well designed and written, and this sits very well with the others they've produced.
Ridiculously priced for such a quality book too.

I bought this book with the River Cottage Fish Book because it brought me up to the free-postage. What a bargain! Wonderful recipes, with clear, friendly instructions. Great pictures, that really look like the food does when you've made it - not a usual thing!
If you only buy one book on making jams, chutneys, jellies, seasonings and sauces, it has to be this one. Pam The Jam is a real star.
Oooh, lovely book! August 6, 2008

I ordered this after getting the email reminder from the River Cottage website, and found it cheaper on here - number one great point! It arrived with another book that I'd ordered and this one I couldn't put down! There are some cookbooks that are more than just cookbooks and I can sit and look at them for ages, this and Nigella's 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' is another.
This book has beautiful pictures, informative introductions to each recipe and a wide range of recipes too.
If I had to pick a negative point, the only thing I would say is that there is a tendancy to over complicate the ingredients - whatever happened to equal amounts of sugar and fruit, and if you're worried about it setting, buy jam sugar! Otherwise a lovely book, both to use (although as it only arrived 2 days ago I haven't yet) and to look at!
