Editorial Reviews

Review

This third edition revises and updates details on pickling, going beyond most traditional pickling titles to explore pickling wild mushrooms, peppers, herring, pears, and other items. So take a second look: it's not just another collection of cucumber pickle recipes (though these are included) but goes far beyond and makes for a welcome kitchen addition. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Pickles, BUT..., September 16, 2011

This review is from: The Perfect Pickle Book (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite books on pickling. When my collection of 50-60 pickle books was stolen it was one of the first books I replaced. I love this book, BUT...it was written to European standards. Any of the recipes I make from this volume I mark REFRIGERATE ONLY on each jar. I consider this a cookbook and NOT a book on food preservation. USDA is very specific about safe home canning. I know, I teach for them through the Master Food Preservers program. Buy this book, enjoy the recipes from many lands, BE SAFE. Cook 'em, eat' em, REFRIGERATE 'EM.
