This series is a treasure that will inspire this generation of cooks looking to preserve fresh ingredients in ways that are delicious, timeless, and fun. -- Kirsten K. Shockey
Despite their small size - 104 pages and 28 and 32 recipes, respectively - Volumes 1 and 2 are dense with details and inspiration. * National Post Canada *
Food preservation was once a necessity for survival. Now, cooks pursue it for other reasons, such as health, culinary enjoyment, reducing household waste, saving the season and the simple act of making and sharing. Some of the processes involved are quick, others slow. The books strike a balance between both. * National Post Canada *
In Preserved: Condiments, a supergroup of cookbook authors team up to turn the spotlight on supporting actors. * Epicurious *
This book will give your food history buff friend plenty of conversational fodder (pun intended), but rather than an encyclopedia of condiments, it works across continents to spotlight culturally significant sauces, pickles, and chutneys-and more than anything, to fortify your pantry. * Epicurious *
