I was moderately interested in this book when I checked it out from the library, immediately very interested when I opened it, and the more I read, the more excited I became. First of all, it's aimed to people in my climate -- Canadians. The authors are based in Toronto. It could be a bit more local-foodie; I ran into two recipes using quantities of pistachio nuts as I leafed through the book; that is not something you'd grow in your garden or find at the farmers' market, it would be quite expensive, and the extravagance seems to contradict the authors' frugal emphasis on using all parts of their produce. However, one could substitute. (Oh no. I found ANOTHER recipe with pistachios as a major ingredient, turned to the index to check and found even more. There must be a huge new pistachio farm in Toronto I haven't heard about.) The plethora of unusual recipes and techniques is commendable. I was pleased to find a simple recipe for limoncello (one Amazon reviewer complains bitterly about the amount of booze in this cookbook; I'm quite happy about that) and the recipe for hot chocolate with cherry powder, while not at all simple, looks like it could make a major contribution towards surviving a Canadian winter. The book is packed with ideas I look forward to trying. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Joel and Dana's journey into preserving began with an innocent lesson in making jam. Almost a decade later, WellPreserved.ca is an extraordinary resource for both beginners and experts alike. Their much-anticipated first cookbook showcases seven different preserving techniques--waterbath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, fermenting, cellaring, salting & smoking, and infusing--and takes readers on a trip to the market in twenty-five ingredients. Within each ingredient chapter, you'll find multiple preserving recipes using the different methods. From apples, pears, peaches and rhubarb, to asparagus, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes, and covering a variety of meat and fish, Batch teaches you everything you need to know to get the most out of your kitchen.
