Vivien Lloyd has 25 years’ experience of making, judging and demonstrating preserves. She tests all her recipes in her beautiful Somerset kitchen, using locally-sourced produce, often from her own orchard. She is passionate about her craft and is a keen advocate of traditional preserve making. Over the years, she has won many competitions for preserves at both local and national levels. In 2008 she won “Best of the Best” at the World’s Original Marmalade Festival and in 2012 Vivien won Fortnum and Mason’s Chutney Challenge.

A good book for a beginner and easy to understand. The recipes look very tasty but I haven't made any yet.
