Marmalade is an iconic Scottish food, traditionally made every year
in January and February when Seville oranges are available. Shirley
Spear, whose multi-award-winning Three Chimneys restaurant on the
Isle of Skye is a magnet for foodies, has written the ultimate
guide to marmalade - not just to making it, but to using it as an
ingredient all the year round in a delicious variety of dishes. The
recipes here are both sweet and savoury, from Chocolate Marmalade
Tart, Marmalade Ice Cream and Apple and Frangipane Tart with
Marmalade Glaze, to Marmalade Sauce for Roast Duck, Glaze for Roast
Gammon, use of Seville oranges in fish and shellfish dishes and
Marmalade Chutney - and not forgetting the Three Chimneys' own
legendary Hot Marmalade Pudding. Shirley mixes in fascinating
information about how marmalade was invented, the great Scottish
marmalade producers like Keiller and Robertsons, and even a link
with Mary, Queen of Scots! This book will be the ideal Christmas
stocking-filler for anyone interested in cooking, and an
irresistible impulse-buy at any time of the year.
