Foreword When I first turned the pages of Beryl Wood’s remarkable book, I was as struck by its astonishing range as I was by its history. Published in 1970, a time when the trend for cheap convenience food was well into its stride and state of the art technology was widely acknowledged as the way forward as the means to feed a growing population, Wood’s collection of preserving recipes was a manifesto for safeguarding our grandmothers’ artisan ways. Her book was a nudge that reminded not to walk past a hedgerow without collecting a few rosehips or blackberries during their season, nor miss a glut of cheaply abundant fruits or vegetables.
