Jam All Year Round

Matilde Skår

Jam can be made at any time. You do not need to go out berrypicking or have berries in your garden. Pop along to your local fruit and veg shop, buy what you need and make what you want. This book will change your perception of jam. What about cherry or mango jam? Or green apple, rhubarb or mint? A combination of pomegranate and apricot is also great! Knowing exactly what you are eating is also a plus. There are no suspicious additives here. This book contains 62 recipes, and you can make new varieties with the basic recipes by combining different types of berries, fruit and vegetables. You will never look at strawberry jam the same way after trying it with chilli and pepper. And if you want to leave out the sugar, there are other options. Jam is a popular gift – make an extra portion when you start!

Uno, Dos, Tres – Taco!

The Flying Culinary Circus

Tacos are as diverse a dish as pasta, simpler than sushi and can be more exciting than tapas because you can create so many of your own flavour combinations. Most people make one particular type – adding prepared herbs and spices to taco shells and piling these on a plate with cheese, sour cream and mince. In Mexico, the homeland of the taco, you'd be hard pressed to find such ingredients. The Flying Culinary Circus hope to provide you with inspiration to make your next taco experience even better than usual, and one step closer to the real deal. Not only that, but they provide tips for exciting combinations with dishes from other culinary cultures. So far The Flying Culinary Circus have toured 47 different countries, and on their way they have plucked inspiration from all of the world's varied food traditions. Now they're hoping to share some of this. They've taken the taco on a world trip, meaning they know just how to bring us simple, tasty tacos – flavour, zing and zest in uno, dos, tres!
