Although the information in the first part of the book is invaluable, the rest of the book is full of recipes for foods I'll never prepare nor eat. I'm glad I read it but don't be picking this one back up when it's time to can again.

I really enjoyed the concept and execution of this book. The author provides the recipes for a few, more exotic canning and preserving recipes. Then she gives recipes to use the canned goods in. There were several photos (and I love good food photographs) and I am now filled with a burning desire to can my own tun. However, living in the middle of the U.S. and far from the ocean is making this difficult to fulfill.
The only thing I wish is that the author included a few more canning recipes for us.

I guess I've got some weird anti-snob snobbery I should face up to but as soon as I see recipes for veal, quail, and/or wild duck (all of which are in this book), I lose virtually all interest in a cookbook. I skimmed the recipes, but didn't really see anything that thrilled me.

Written by a woman who knows her stuff and both loves and is reverent of food. Wonderful canning and preserving techniques and safety tips, delicious-looking recipes, and drool-worthy pictures

Disappointing. A lot of great information on the proper way to preserve food, on bacteria, and different ways to preserve. But there were very few recipes for the actual preserving, none of which I will try. And then recipes to use what you preserved, which I also won't try. Not what I expected.

Clear, concise and scientific instructions on how to preserve just about any kind of food. It's not a book that one can read and absorb, though- it's a book that will need to be spread out on one's counter, getting spattered with tomato seeds and propped up on canisters. This belongs on any serious preserver's cookbook shelf.
