A full-color photo album illustrates the fresh produce that can be preserved to turn the darkest cellar into a gallery of stained-glass colors.

With recipes for every preserved food from the simplest jelly to the most sophisticated pate, Preserving is truly a cookbook for all seasons.

Review

Oded Schwartz turns the illustrated format favored by publisher Dorling Kindersley into a lush seduction in this book. Nearly every page offers pictures of glorious jams and jellies, fruit butters, chutneys, pickles, preserved meats, smoked fish, and sausages that make your mouth water. Schwartz's vivid descriptions of the more than 150 recipes are as alluring as the stunning photos. Recipe directions are easy to follow and Schwartz gives technical advice to help ensure that successful, safe preserving is clear and simple. He also includes valuable guidance on selecting ingredients along with a brief but interesting historical and ethnic background of preserving food.
