Food news: A new cooking book, wooden spoons and a taste of honey First Preserves by Vivien Lloyd (Citrus Press, £17.99). Of course, you've already bought the Seville oranges and are looking forward to a weekend of sugary toil - or not. But for those who do want to make their own marmalade or preserves, Vivien Lloyd's book is a good place to start. First Preserves is a guide for the beginner, couched in headmistressy tones and combining recipes for jams, marmalades and chutneys with tips on entering (and winning) jam-making competitions.
