Format:Hardcover
Written in a relaxed style by two enthusiastic food lovers, this informative and stimulating book is a welcome addition to my groaning food bookshelves!
There's some practical advice that is particularly suitable for "boys in the kitchen"- the biltong box design works brilliantly and the smoking recipes are spot on too.
Not too complicated for beginners, and not too simple for more experienced cooks.

Having recently caught the jam-making bug, I bought this for some fresh ideas, for which it is great, there are lots of recipes I'm looking forward to trying (with very enticing photography - non a vital element of a cookbook, but always a nice one.) The overviews of the various preserving techniques are interesting & well-written, too. But putting Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall first in the list of authors is somewhat misleading as his contribution is a single page!

When I ordered this book I assumed it would be predominantly about pickling and jam making.
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it contained a wealth of other preserving techniqies such as air dryng, salting, fermenting, curing and freezing.
The book is informative and interesting and the recipes tried so far delicious. As one would expect with a book that seeks to cover all areas of preserving it is fairly thin on information on each specific technique but would be a great starting point for anyone seeking to look further into any of the specific areas. I'd recommend this for anyone seeking general information and an oversight into the process of preserving food.

A must for all preserve makers.
"Preserved" is a must for anyone interested in making their own preserves - dried, pickled, salted, smoked or fermented - it's all in this excellent book. Read more

more of a cookery book than preserving
I bought this book thinking it would be about preserving but was misled. The recipes are nice but it concentrates far too much on presentation rather than content. Read more

This is a nice book - well presented, interesting and it explains how the preserving processes work... but it doesn't REALLY tell you a lot about preserving. Read more
