Freeze Fresh: The Ultimate Guide to Preserving 55 Fruits and Vegetables for Maximum Flavor and Versatility by Crystal Schmidt

informative fast-paced

4.0

This is a great book for anyone interested in learning how to preserve fruits and vegetables in the freezer. For me, I've always been a little hesitant to can anything because I'm worried I won't properly sterilize everything and will accidentally give my family botulism! I didn't even realize how many foods can be frozen and then "brought back to life" weeks and months later, but this is great to know as I hate throwing away food. 

My husband and I are soon upgrading to a large freezer (we're in Europe, but purchasing a big American side-by-side refrigerator/freezer) which is very exciting (!!!) and will mean we'll soon have room to freeze our favorites. I'm already looking forward to strawberry crumble and asparagus soup in winter! 

This book is full of beautiful photos and Crystal's personal stories, which I so enjoyed. She teaches you how to freeze just about every fruit and veggie you can imagine and sprinkles in recipes along the way. I now need a physical copy for my kitchen as this will make a fabulous reference book. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
