Product Description

Book Description
This new book by organic smallholder Piers Warren is the modern guide to storing and preserving your garden produce, enabling you to eat home-grown goodness all year round.With hilarious illustrations by cartoonist Chris Winn this is really two books in one!

The easy to use reference section enables you to quickly look up applicable storage and preservation techniques for the majority of plant produce grown commonly in gardens and allotments.

You've just found the perfect gift for anyone interested in gardening, smallholding, cooking, permaculture, homesteading or allotments!

From the Publisher
A HUGE sense of satisfaction - of self-reliance - that you alone can provide the most important need of your family.

Home-grown fruit and vegetables are far cheaper than shop-bought (if not free).

Eating food you have produced in your own garden is the most environmentally sound way of doing things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable guide, 19 Jul 2008
By P. Walker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How did I manage without this book? My colleagues at work regularly share our surplus produce from our gardens and allotments. This book has provided much needed inspiration for us. The plum chutney recipe is a real winner! The second edition is much improved with many more recipes.
I shall not be short of ideas this summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, 17 Jan 2009
By Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I've often regretted planting so much of certain foods in the past and wondered what to do with them once harvested. But now armed with this fine manual I can go to war against the hordes of veg that try to overpower my little garden !!

This is the revised and enlarged edition and it happily answers a lot of the questions that I've been too embarrassed to ask. From apples to turnips and everything in between this book reveals the secrets to successful storage and throws in quite a few nice little recipes as well, the mushroom ketchup being my personal favourite. Incidentally there's a recipe here for " spitfire sauce " and I can safely say "ya wont only spit fire ......" Anyway I highly recommend this book to both the seasoned gardener and the enthusiastic amateurs like me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful reference book, 10 Jul 2008
By A. S. Gilbert (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very useful reference book and whilst some of the advice might not be practical for some of us, it is nevertheless very interesting.

My copy is very well thumbed!

Even if you do not anticipate a glut of a particular vegetable at the moment, you never know what the next season's weather will bring. Maybe this WILL be a good year for beetroot!
