Pickles Preserves and Cures: Recipes for the Modern Kitchen Larder

by Thane Prince

Many of us remember jams and chutneys made by grandmothers and great aunts who also seemed to know exactly how long to boil a ham and how to keep butter, and who had a magical pantry full of secret delights. These skills are increasingly in demand as more of us want to make use of home-grown produce, reduce the weekly food budget or rediscover cooking from scratch. A timely book for the new kitchen revolution, Preserves, Pickles and Cures is not only a celebration of lost skills such as curing, rendering and pickling and a collection of fantastic recipes, but also provides advice on stocking a cupboard or pantry and the best way to store cheese, cooked meats and vegetables. At a time when we are all looking to shop more locally, cook thriftily and still enjoy great food, it is a book for how we live today.

This book has lots of helpful information about how to preserve a variety of foods in a wide variety of ways. From making cheeses and yogurts to breads and jams and pickles to curing meat and a lot more. I like that I found out some ways to use the herbs from my garden that I had not thought of before. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
