NOW AVAILABLE FROM ABRAMS: Canning for a New Generation: Updated and
Expanded Edition (ISBN: 978-1-61769-185-0)
"When I was growing up, canning was for old folks and cranks and
separatists," writes Liana Krissoff in her introduction to Canning for
a New Generation. But not anymore. With soaring food prices and the
increasing popularity of all things domestic and DIY, there's never been
a better time to revisit the centuries-old techniques of preserving food
at home.
This hip, modern handbook is filled with fresh and new ways to preserve
nature's bounty throughout the year. Organized by season and illustrated
with beautiful photographs, it offers detailed instructions and recipes
for making more than 150 canned, pickled, dried, and frozen foods, as
well as 50 inventive recipes for dishes using these foods. Basic
information on canning techniques and lively sidebars round out this
refreshing take on a classic cooking tradition.
Praise for Canning For a New Generation:
"A seasonal guide to putting up produce, with innovative recipes that
incorporate the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor."
