Jelly’s back! Here are three worth making – and three that should wobble off to the bin

Jelly, often viewed as a dowdy treat, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, particularly on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This revival includes a trend towards savoury jellies, which were once considered unappealing. The New York Times suggests that this trend is driven by chefs seeking to create visually striking dishes in an era where molecular gastronomy has lost its novelty. The appeal of jelly lies in its photogenic quality, leading to questions about whether taste matters as much as appearance in today's culinary landscape.
