Reviews

[Elisa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not what I was expecting. This book is a coffee table book with pretty pictures of produce, country scenes, and flowers. It might celebrate Autumn, but is not really about what to do with your harvest. It only has common recipes like berry cobbler, which is a "duh" in my mind, rather than addressing the more challenging things like how to use all your squash, carrots, or beets. The biggest turn off was how many of the existing recipes are built around alcohol.

This is one of my "go to" books for soft fruits and recipes for condiments, canning and specialty drinks.
