This is the kind of book I have been looking for for a long time!  I have only had the book a few days and already I have tried  a few with really impressive results.
I have mainly concentrated on the cordials (excuse the pun) because these reap result almost instantly.  Having obtained a box of 32 lemons for £1 I was able to make a lovely lemon cordial which we have been drinking hot, cold and with fizz added. the lavender cordial has made of an interesting addition to our collection with its beautiful cottage garden flavour.
The recipes are clearly laid out and easy to follow. The supporting pictures temp you to try something new simply because it looks good, the quality of the photographs is outstanding. Unlike many other books this one does not look as if it is a rewrite of something from the 1970's and the Good Life!
The section on the equipment is lacking any pictures for the novice to identify what is required but this is a minor criticism.
This book will see a lot of use in our kitchen during all months of the year.
Well done Doug and Sara, most impressive.
