The renaissance of English jelly.
April 23, 2009
That is probably one of my more bizarre blog titles. There’s a company in London called Bompas and Parr who create bespoke Jelly moulds. They write that English Jelly is enjoying a renaissance across the country thanks to the slow food movement and molecular gastronomers (blimey say that 10 times fast!). Apparently the victorians used jelly as centrepieces – I’ve always used it as a vehicle for vodka myself but there you go. I love that all the old school things are staging a comeback. Spectacular imagery.
Found via Wee Birdy – an Aussie blogger in London.

Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

There is definitely a jelly trend thing emerging…kids from the 70s who hoovered up jello are now spiking jellies with all manner of spirits in adulthood. I made a mojito-with-lime green-jelly-with-mint and it worked crazily well.
