.The Basic Basics Jams, Preserves and Chutneys (Basic Basics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
by: Marguerite Patten

July 01, 2001
This, like many of Marguerite Patten's other 'Basics' other books, is simply invaluable. Particularly key, now many of us are growing our own & therefore understand the seasonal 'glut' dilemma - there are, I promise you, only so many cucumbers you can eat in a week ........

.Favourite Country Preserves - Traditional Home-made Jam, Chutney and Pickle Recipes
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
by: Carol Wilson

December 02, 1999
I have most of this range and I use them most days. The ingredients are items you mainly keep in your larder and they are easy to follow. I love cooking and have many cookbooks, but I can honestly say that this range of books are the most used. Traditional and wholesome recipes that will provide you with many gorgeous treats!!!!!!!! You can also purchase any of these titles from the publisher if you cannot locate any of them - this is a service I have had to use as Amazon do not stock all of them. Its not entirely true that you get what you pay for - in some cases you get MORE!!! and I am pleased to say this is one of those cases.

.Keeping the Harvest: Preserving Your Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs, Canning, Jams and Jellies, Freezing, Pickling, Drying, Curing, Cold Storage (Down-To-Earth Book)
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
by: Nancy Thurber, Gretchen Mead, Nancy Chioffi

1991-08
Easy to read book but I didn't realise (when I purchased the book) that it's written for the American market. Terms included 'canning' (not to be confused with commercial canning) when in the UK we say 'Bottling' and everything is in cup measurements etc. Also harvest times are obviously different too.

.Pickles and Chutneys ("Australian Women's Weekly" Home Library)
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
from: ACP Publishing Pty Ltd

2000-06
This is a lovely little booklet which contains great recipes and good colour pictures! For me, as a Dutch person, it is ideal since it uses the metrical system. UK buyers don't worry: there is a very easy-to-use table in the back converting metrical to the Uk system.

I rate this a 5+ !

Recipes include chutneys, pickles, oven dried tomatoes, a spicy coriander jam and more...

.Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
by: M Ruhlman

November 15, 2005
This is a well researched, readable and helpfully illustrated book. It's a very good choice if you want a book that will instruct you in a broad range of techniques, provide reliable recipes and inspire you to transform lemons, a whole organic pig and everything else in between.

Don't worry that this book is over-verbose. There's no wasted text unless you can only think in bullet points!

.Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits and Vegetables
City Travel Guides > Books > Preserving Food
by: Mike Bubel, Nancy Bubel

September 30, 1991
This book has many tremendous, no nonsense, inexpensive, simple, low-tech, and energy saving ways to keep our harvests fresh.

It has reminded me of some simple techniques I'd forgotten, and taught me several new ones. I highly recommend it for those interested in what Y2K might present.
