5 out of 5 stars Busy Person Guide to Preserving Food   August 28, 2008
I ordered serval books about preserving food and this one was the best. Easy to read and a good starter book for preserving vegtables and herbs.
This is our third year tiling our garden and the most abundant.

3 out of 5 stars Great book, but cooking in plastic? yuck!   August 1, 2008

This book is full of great info, giving different preserving options for the veggies and fruits most frequently harvested by home gardeners.

But if you, like our family, prefer to NOT cook food, especially your organically grown veggies, in plastic "boiling" bags, then you might find some of the advice as frustrating as I did.

Overall, a great starting point, but I'm going to look elsewhere for canning and freezing advice.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource even for beginners   June 15, 2008

The Busy Person's Guide to Preserving Food: Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for Freezing, Drying and Canning is an excellent resource if you need help learning how to preserve food. It gives the preferred preservation method for all different types of fruits and vegetables then also gives alternate methods for each as well. You can definitely preserve produce you buy locally as well as produce you grow using the methods in this book even if you have never done so before.
