Hi I’m Pippa and I am Beryl’s niece. I love using her book to make both traditional preserves as well as having fun trying out some recipes from the most unlikely produce. Marrow and ginger jam and banana and lemon jam are two of my favourites.
Our home in London has a very small garden. We grow our own herbs and I am always looking around for good sources of fresh fruits and vegetables. We live very near New Covent Garden which is perfect for buying huge quantities. For smaller amounts I buy locally from stalls and farmers markets. Friends have allotments and a trip out of the city might find me picking my own.
I cook for my husband and myself, for my two grown up daughters and friends.
I would love to hear from you and would particularly welcome any comments on my posts.
If there are topics you would like me to cover or specific recipes or preserves you would like me to seek out and try, I will do my best.
Please let me know if you have had particular successes and have enjoyed any of my aunt’s recipes or if you have your own recipe which you would like to feature ina post.
Please get in touch with me through the comments box and I will reply as soon as I can.
