Reading a Recipe of Maggie Beer’s.
Lamb Cutlets with a Rambumcious mix of Herbs, (not erbs), Spices, Breadcrumbs and Pickled Quinces.
Where does one get Pickled Quinces?

She used to have a TV show with a chef I remember.It was all a bit precious and I found it fascinating that they could both go into raptures just about food. 
From the pickled quince factory?

I use cookbooks as bedtime reading. I don’t cook. I just like thinking about the different combinations in my head. It used to help me fall asleep. I haven’t done that in a while.

Hi
You pickle them yourself, both fruits and vegetables.
Very easy and cheap to do.
I am sure I have never seen a quince, no idea what they even look like.
Interestingly, they are called marmelos in Portugal, and that’s where the marmalade word comes from. Nice on toast for breakfast.

I use YT so many quick meals to do .
They are like a large, hard yellow pear. Inedible raw. To make jam you simply grate them and cook with lots of sugar. The jam is not tremendous on its own but works well in desserts such as sponges or in bread & butter pudding. To make quince jelly (excellent with cheese) you then sieve and reduce to a thick paste.
I’ve not tried pickling them. I’d think they’d be very, very crunchy.
They have a delicate, flowery taste - a little like pear but more syrupy. They used to be common in England but are now rare - found a lot on the continent.

I stick to tried and trusted recipes. But saying that, I expect I would read a recipe book, if I liked the contents. There are lots of foodstuffs I don’t like.

I find YT vids about cooking hugely entertaining. Anything from an hour long vid about Armenians building a fire and roasting a goat to those 10 second TY Shorts.
