Building on the success of her James Beard Award-nominated Blue Chair Jam Cookbook, Rachel Saunders' Blue Chair Cooks with Jam & Marmalade is both the definitive modern guide to using preserves in cooking and an exciting exploration of flavours and ingredients. Far from merely a narrow look at obvious ways to use jam, Blue Chair Cooks with Jam & Marmalade is a rich and wide-ranging general cookbook for every day. Organized by time of day, Rachel's recipes are nuanced and unusual and cover the broadest possible array of techniques and ideas. Rachel both includes and transcends such jam-filled classics as Victoria Sandwich and Classic Jelly roll to reveal an entire world of tempting sweet and savoury possibilities. Blue Chair Cooks with Jam & Marmalade explores not only breakfast and tea time, but also numerous savoury lunch and dinner options, including sausages, soups, salads, hors d'oeuvres, and paella. With over 150 original recipes ranging from Fruited Irish Brown Bread to Brussels Sprouts with Kumquats & Smoked Salt to Poppy Seed-Cocoa Nib Torte, this much-anticipated sequel to the classic Blue Chair Jam Cookbook is sure to occupy a special place in your kitchen.
