Another great resource.... I think I'd better roll up my sleeves and clear some space in my pantry.--Cathy Thomas Appeal-Democrat (Sacramento) (10/23/2009)

Another great resource.... I think I'd better roll up my sleeves and clear some space in my pantry. -- Cathy Thomas Appeal-Democrat (Sacramento) (10/23/2009)

Mouth-watering color photography, and easy to follow recipes plus tips and variations in the margins of the pages. I think these books will become favorite go-to books for those who want to learn about preserving food, and those who already know how, but want more ideas. Get them now and soon, you'll always have a little something to bring a hostess or brighten up a meal.
