Author Information

I worked for years in science before discovering my true passion in writing. Since taking the plunge in 2010 to quit my day job and write full time, I have had numerous articles published in local, national and international magazines including American Gardener, Herb Companion and History Magazine, as well as on various locales across the Interwebs. My areas of focus are gardening, travel and history. I have also won several awards for my essays and fiction. In addition to Easy Preserving, I am the author of... * The Trials of Hercules: Book One of The Osteria Chronicles * 13th Hour: Tales from Light to Midnight * Going Native: Small Steps to a Healthy Garden * The My Garden Journal * Simply Soft Cheese: Home Cheese Making Made Quick & Easy * Soup for You To learn more about me, please visit TammiePainter.com I've been coaxing vegetables out of my shady garden for years. Due to the effort required to grow my produce, I do whatever I can to save some of it for later months. With a degree in biology and 10 years of experience working in food analysis and chemistry labs, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to preserving food. However, I'm also busy (and a bit lazy) and like to find the quickest way in and out of the kitchen so I've honed the techniques described in Easy Preserving to save myself some work.
