Preserving: Pickling, Fermenting, Freezing, Drying, Curing and Canning - Katie Caldesi & Giancarlo Caldesi

Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi embarked on a two year-long journey to discover the different methods of conserving food, from smoking fish in Scotland to drying chillies in Sri Lanka, and this book collects their favourite recipes and invaluable advice on equipment, timings and ingredients. 

Combining traditional tried-and-tested preserving techniques with a thoroughly modern perspective, this authoritative yet celebratory and deeply personal book is the preserver's bible.
