"This book is full of recipes for making things you never thought of making but should. Crackers, mayo, mustard, bacon.. the list goes on. Very cool book."
"I totally want to own this book. It really fits into what I'm 'into' lately. For financial reasons I have decided to try making things at home that I normally buy at the grocery store. (For instance, I've learned how to make my own sourdough bread and bagels this year.) This book is fabulous for that. There are recipes on making your own marshmallows, ravioli, beef jerky, cheese (yes, cheese! :), and orange marmalade. There are even recipes for making your own bacon (though I don't think I'll ever choose to tackle that one). This book has me excited to start creating some fun stuff in my kitchen."
"this book is both satisfyingly broad (pickles! bacon! crackers! pasta! jam! limoncello di crema!) and disappointingly shallow. with a title like "jam it, pickle it" I expected quite a few more jam and pickle recipes. three jam recipes (and one "curd") and four pickle recipes is a bit of a let-down. what's here sounds fabulous -- I'm off to secure several pounds of fresh olives this fall for my own cured olives, and I'll try many of the liqueur recipes -- and the photography is stunning and will, I'm sure, inspire many a reluctant jam-pickle-curer.
the big drawback of this book is that it embraces an out-of-the-grocery-store philosophy and yet skips many of the important lessons (there's no talk about eating the the seasons, for instance, nor can a budding home preserver have a clue how to deal with large quantities of, say, fruit off a backyard tree, or an *entire* salmon, despite the rather oddly titled chapter, "hunt it") and suggests using many grocery store ingredients, like canned tomatoes (even though canning one's own tomatoes is, in my opinion, preserving 101). the book is inspirational and cute and crafty. a bible of preservation methods it is not. most definitely belongs as a coffee table complement to a very robust preserving library."
