CJ Jackson has been the CEO of Billingsgate Seafood School since 2005. As a charity, based above the largest inland fish market in the UK, CJ and her team deliver a large range of courses for children and schools, industry training and general public as part of a ‘food lovers’ programme. As a food writer and teacher, CJ has spent the last 25 years trying to encourage people to become confident seafood cooks producing family meals as part of a balanced diet, but also fabulous food to share with friends.

Her new cookbook is called the Great British Seafood Revival, out now. 

Bramble leaf tea

The leaf tea is like a green tea, pleasant but with a tannin feel. It is also a welcome relief for problems of the mouth, such as ulcers and gum disease. It was once thought to strengthen teeth, and is an old remedy for soothing sore throats and treating colds and anaemia. When cool, the tea makes a good skin lotion.

Venison is experiencing an unprecedented growth in popularity with the British public as a delicious, healthy and increasingly available dish.

This book is part of The Game Larder series, including Feathers & Venison.
