Great for beginersYes this book is for the american market but it is still very informative and does give a few helpful recipies for those glutts of produce. worth a look.
winter fruitsThis book is a great help for gardeners wishing to keep fruits etc for use over the winter
keeping the harvestExcellent book for those getting into allotments without going into too much detail it covers what you should know.
Excellent!All the information you need, including recipes, conversion charts and comprehensive description for every type of preservation method. Well written and easily understood.
A useful bookA comprehensive book of freezing, drying, pickling and jam making, one that only the really serious would want on hand.
If you are not sure if you want to go down the preserving route, perhaps borrowing the book first, before making up your mind, would be the best way to go.
There is one small draw back with this book, it has been written by an American for the American market, so all weights and measures are in cups, gallons, quarts etc, so unless you can work with US recipes, it will mean nothing to you on the recipe side.
But having said that, there is great detail on each of the preserving methods themselves which is very useful, including new US guidelines on safe food preserving, which is difficult to find here in the UK, but invaluable if you want to stay healthy after eating your preserved produce!
