The Modern Preserver: A mindful cookbook packed with seasonal appeal

Reviews

Mrs E M Hyder

It's not one of those books that just sits on the shelf gathering dust - it gets used all the time as there are so many seasonal recipes. I've made loads of the recipes and every one has not only been a success but been delicious. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.

I've done cookery classes in the past but this was probably the best. Her passion for preserving was just as obvious at the class as it is in the book.

We had some friends for tea a while ago - one of the things I'd made was the greengage and flaked almond jam. What has prompted me to write a review after having the book for a while is that I did one of Kylee's classes last weekend. I've had this book for a while now so have had plenty of opportunity to try out the recipes.

Whether you're experienced at preserving or new to it, buy this book. The way she's committed to ethical behaviour and her ability to communicate her messages and show people that preserving, pickling and fermenting are easy are inspiring. I now have a cupboard that's just for preserves - and that's all down to this book. It will inspire you too.

My friend dropped some not very subtle hints and ended up leaving with 2 jars - he loved it that much.
