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.

Book Description
A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Old Dundee

Author: Eric Eunson
Publisher: Stenlake Publishing
ISBN: 9781840332162
Category : Dundee (Scotland)
Languages : en
Pages : 112

Book Description
This spectacular book combines a wonderful collection of images of Dundee with informative captions that really bring them to life. All corners of the city are covered, with many landmarks seen here intact before they were swept away during the various redevelopment schemes of the twentieth century. The Tay ferries are featured, as of course is an outline of Dundee's more general maritime history, including whaling. As you would expect, jute, jam and journalism are covered, but for many ordinary Dundonians the real interest will be in the views of their part of the city showing familiar streets and shops prior to redevelopment. Bill Early's wonderful collection of postcards of the city forms the bulk of the material illustrated, while he and Eric Eunson have collaborated to produce a narrative that will be of interest to both Dundonians and visitors to the city.

John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more responsible, enriching, and eco-friendly choices with his advice on living sustainably.

Seymour shows you how to live off the land, running your own smallholding or homestead, keeping chickens, and raising (and butchering) livestock. In a world of mass production, intensive farming, and food miles, Seymour's words offer an alternative: a celebration of the joy of investing time, labour, and love into the things we need. While we aren't all be able to move to the countryside, we can appreciate the need to eat food that has been grown ethically or create things we can cherish, using skills that have been handed down through generations. With refreshed, retro-style illustrations and a brand-new foreword by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this new edition of Seymour's classic title is a balm for anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of modern life.
