At £6.99 this book is reasonably good value, but I wouldn't recommend paying any more than that. It's only an introduction to the subject and one that's fairly skimpy in places. There are some excellent, indeed rather beautiful photographs by Peter Cassidy, but they're over-used and make the book into the sort you display on the coffee table rather than use in the kitchen. If you want an introduction to the subject you'd do just as well reading Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's "River Cottage Cookbook". If you want the bible of preserving I think you've got to try and get hold of Oded Schwartz' "Preserving", but there's a waiting list of four for used copies on Amazon. Perhaps I ought to make it five.
