Book Reviews of The Busy Person's Guide to Preserving Food: Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for Freezing, Drying, and Canning
Book Review: Great book, but cooking in plastic? yuck!
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is full of great info, giving different preserving options for the veggies and fruits most frequently harvested by home gardeners.
But if you, like our family, prefer to NOT cook food, especially your organically grown veggies, in plastic "boiling" bags, then you might find some of the advice as frustrating as I did.
Overall, a great starting point, but I'm going to look elsewhere for canning and freezing advice.
