The Promise (Descr from Publisher):
The Ultimate Guide to PRESERVING 55 FRUITS AND VEGETABLES for Maximum Flaver and Versatility
(From the book’s subtitle - the publisher left the description blank on NetGalley)
The Expectation (mine after reading the promise, etc):
I read the reviews already posted for this and so I know not to be expecting a recipe book: but I wasn’t anyway. I expect this to be a how-to book. I hope to gain some knowledge and confidence in freezing fruits & vegetables.
Favorite/Summary Quote:
For me, growing food is grounding; it makes me feel connected and whole. I share a lot of our life on social media and on my website, and I find great joy in inspiring others with what we're growing, eating, and preserving. I wish that more people could experience growing their own food; I truly think it could change the world.
What I connected with:
I love the bright colors / photos. Also, the simple instructions. And explanations about what works and what doesn’t! Easy to follow & understand; and then do!
What I struggled with:
I didn’t expect this to be a recipe book like some reviewers seem to have expected. However as I was reading through the book, I kept thinking “Does she have a companion recipe book?” That would be awesome!
What I learned:
That freezing food isn’t as difficult as my own overthinking led me to believe it would be.
How it transformed me in some way:
I am now way more confident about taking on freezing vegetables and fruits that I never would have considered freezing before! That’s a big win!
I would definitely recommend this to friends and family & want a hard copy for my own personal chef library!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are my own.
