Jeyes of Earls Barton's charity cookbook showcasing new 'Northamptonshire sauce' is out now

A charity cookbook filled with recipes using Jeyes of Earls Barton's new 'Northamptonshire sauce' is now available to buy just in time for Christmas.

The county has come together to share recipes, tips and tales of Jeyes's to create A Taste of Jeyes's Northamptonshire Sauce in support of the children's wards at Northampton General Hospital.

Celebrities, award-winning chefs and food and drink venues, as well as the public, submitted recipes for the book using the sauce which was launched in October.

Anna Jeyes-Hulme, from the family-run business, said: "A Taste of Jeyes's Cookbook is dedicated to two shining stars from the Jeyes family - Marie Taylor 'Nan', 1921-2013, and Jack Jeyes-Blackburn, 2009-2010.

"Both would be glistening down with giggles, smiles and pride with our latest Jeyes family adventure."

.Jeyes created the sauce using a recipe from ancestor Philadelphus Jeyes from the 1830s with help from Northampton-based chutney experts Friars Farm and BBC Radio Northampton.

The recipe book has been a labour of love for Anna, who since the launch of the sauce has been creating the cookbook and with the help of the family.

Relatives Georgina and Philippa have produced a colourful and cheerful cookbook that every home cook and eager 'chef in the making' will enjoy this Christmas, she believes.

In the 'Northamptonshire's finest' section of the book, there are recipes by Earl Spencer, Christian Day, Rev Richard Coles and this year's finalists from the Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards.

Anna said: "Everyone's enthusiasm for Jeyes's Northamptonshire Sauce, willingness to get involved and produce delicious dishes for the book is inspiring and a great showcase of the spirit of our wonderful county."
