Book Reviews of Putting Food By (Plume)
Book Review: Required classic for the kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
Home preserving is best done with a guide such as this; if you don't understand how acids, heat, cleanliness are involved in preserving food healthfully, you can get into some deep trouble.If you garden, this is a good book to have to process your excess produce. Have you ever made ketchup? It's wonderful to season your own. Homemade relishes and pickles are great gifts if you are good at making them. Home-canned tomatoes taste great. This is a classic and a must-have for the home canner.
Book Review: Info about revision incorrect
Summary: 5 Stars
I have this ISBN number in my hand having received it from Amazon.com this week. The publishing info page clearly states the last copyright date as 1988. It says "This fourth edition of 'Putting Food By' first published in 1988 in simultaneous hardcover and paperback editions by The Stephen Green Press, Inc."Now I have two copies, the original 1988 and this copy falsely labeled as revised Sept, 1992.
It is a great a book now as it was in 1988
Book Review: Great resource - but outdated
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book from my local library to preview before purchasing. I wish there were a more recent version. This book is not just about canning; it is a detailed guide to the many ways to "put up". It covers canning, drying, pickling, root cellaring (not an option here in the deep South, but...) I also liked the chapter on Christmas gifts. This is a great book with lots of details, well organized, but not many pictures.Book Review: Putting Food By (Plume)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only book that I have found that tells me how to preserve figs.
You cannot find these type of books in the Midwest.
This was a gift to my friend that lived in the midwest but has now located to Arizona that is fortunate enough to have these beautiful trees!
The rest of the book is excellent and comparable to what I already have, but this has figs! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Book Review: All You'll Ever Need
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just ordering a replacement book for the one that I have been using for years that is falling apart. It is the only canning book that you will ever need. All you need to know to do safe and delicions canning as well as other food preservation techniques are in there. I have a designation from the NC Extension Service of Master Food Preserver, so you can trust my opinion.
