Chronicle During Books Preserves (River Cottage Handbooks #2)
This is exactly what I thought it would be except Americanized. I loved the River Cottage TV series which started off as a guy trying to downshift his life and basically grow or raise all his food.It turned into a much larger franchise, that appears to be much more work than he originally signed up for (with employees, multiple locations and guests). I won't go any further into that.
The recipes are clear and concise, but it is not the British version. I haven't tried any but they look like they will be good and some are very similar to the America's Test Kitchen Preserving books recipes. There are some good tips, but I'm only giving 4 stars because they felt the need to convert to Imperial from Metric and some of the original recipes were left out due to the inability to get ingredients here in the states.

One of the most comprehensive books on traditional preserving methods and recipes. Simple to follow, very compact and informative with seasonal timings. Note the timings relate to UK seasonality but for the most part you can transpose the seasonal boundaries to your part of the world and adjust acordinglythis is another one from the river cottage guides (see hedgerow) I have been after this for a while and i will admit there is more than just a book of recipes to tempt you with there is also useful information there too - and I admit there is nothing better than to consume your creations afterwards (especially when you have stunk out the house)
Another in the excellent handbook series. As in some of the others, Hedgerow, Mushrooms, Edible Seashore, doubly useful in this pocket size as you can take them out with you when out collecting and catching.These books written by people associated with River Cottage are able to cover everyone from beginner to established home cook. From advice about equipment, where to find wild ingredients to some delightful recipes it's a lot in a little package.Foreword by Hugh F - W.
Read the first one - awesome.
Love, love, love this book!Loads of inspiration for growing and making for next year
This is a pretty little book, saturated with gorgeous images that make you feel as if you, too, are picking berries in a flowering hedgerow in some quaint little town in the English countryside. There's a great variety of recipes, from honeyed hazelnuts to rumtopf to pickled nasturium pods. And you can practically hear the author's British accent in the colorful instructions, such as this one from the black current jam, "... remove the twiggy bits..."But having said all that, American canners
okay, so I only made one very small batch of rhubarb jam from this to eat within a week or so (not in a sterilized jar). But had I the time & equipment I would totally want to make more from it.
