Book Reviews of Putting Food By (Plume)
Book Review: Great resource - but outdated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)

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.Book Review: A Good and Frank Instructional
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for understanding the how to's and why's of putting food by, or storage, but without the "ohmygod, you're going to DIE if you don't simmer the lids for ten minutes!!!). There's a lot to be said for using good old fashioned common sense and this book stresses just that - common sense. There are a lot of great ideas for food storage within these pages.Book Review: My Canning Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book in 1991 and rely on it exclusively for putting up all my food. It has almost any type of food and how to put it up. Very informative and lots of information on the correct way to can any specific food to prevent bacteria growth. I feel safer knowing the methods in the book are thoroughly researched and tested. A great book.
