Amazon.com Review
Oded Schwartz turns the illustrated format favored by publisher Dorling Kindersley into a lush seduction in this book. Nearly every page offers pictures of glorious jams and jellies, fruit butters, chutneys, pickles, preserved meats, smoked fish, and sausages that make your mouth water. Schwartz's vivid descriptions of the more than 150 recipes are as alluring as the stunning photos. Recipe directions are easy to follow and Schwartz gives technical advice to help ensure that successful, safe preserving is clear and simple. He also includes valuable guidance on selecting ingredients along with a brief but interesting historical and ethnic background of preserving food.

Customer Reviews

The definitive work on the subject of preserving.
The book makes it so easy and every recipe has a photograph of the finished product to help you decide which to make first. Each recipe also has a degree of difficulty rating. After reading this book, you can preserve anything!

Beautiful photographs as well as easy to follow recipes.
This has some of the most beautiful and artful photographs I've seen. Could be an addition to any coffee table. Recipes are easy to follow, with directions for any beginner.

Very Fancy
This book is full of good information, but it is very fancy. It is not real practical for someone who just wants to preserve food. I was looking for more canning recipes, and it doesn't have many for meat and fish.
