We are thrilled to announce that our owner, Rachel Saunders, will be coming out with a cookbook in Fall of 2010! Her book, The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook, will be the definitive jam and marmalade cookbook of the 21st century, and will be published by Andrews McMeel. In addition to nearly 120 original jam, jelly and marmalade recipes, Rachel will share all of her secrets and information on canning techniques and her unique jam maker's perspective on fruit. This lavishly illustrated 400-page book will illustrate every part of the preserving process, making The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook the must-have book for fruit- and jam-loving home and professional cooks!

The Team Behind Blue Chair Fruit

Rachel is so excited about the team behind her forthcoming book! Her publisher, Andrews McMeel, is doing a fantastic job, and has in the past couple of years put out several excellent cookbooks, including Falling Cloudberries and My Nepenthe. Andrews is also publishing the Sur la Table cookbook series.

Rachel wishes to extend her warmest thanks to Sara Remington, her phenomenally talented photographer. Sara, you bring Blue Chair Fruit to life! Sara has been gracious enough to let us use many of her stunning photographs for our website and growing collection of Blue Chair postcards. Thank you, Sara!

Blue Chair Fruit would not be what it is today without the fantastic design prowess of Francesca Bautista, whose gorgeous work is the embodiment of all things Blue Chair! Francesca has done all of our design thus far, and is also designing Rachel's book. Francesca, we love you!

And, last but not least, Rachel wishes to thank Ethel Brennan, prop stylist extraordinaire. Ethel, where would we be without you? Your fabulous creative eye has made so many of our photo shoots together extra-special. Thanks so much, Ethel!

Thank you also to the Blue Chair Team, whose hard work and dedication has made it possible for Rachel to write a book and run a business at the same time. You are the best!
