Can It & Ferment It: More Than 75 Satisfying Small-Batch Canning and Fermentation Recipes for the Whole Year

This is a great and easy book to follow. Made pickles so far and they remain crunchy and the recipe is flavourful

I ordered this book as soon as the pre-order became available. I'm going to be buying this for any future friends that want to learn the canning and fermenting arts because I'm often asked where to start...here's a great start! I've been following Minnesota From Scratch for a while. Stephanie Thurow comes off just as friendly and knowledgeable through social media as her words do in her cookbook. I absolutely love the way it's written. It's like she's speaking to you as a friend, like she's teaching you in the comfort of her kitchen, just like her aunt taught her! It's an easy read for sure. Her book is very well laid out. Every picture is so beautiful and was taken by the author herself of her own homemade, small batch goods. There are space for notes included with each recipe, as well as designated space for notes in other areas of the book. It was thoughtful to include this because, as is with cooking, you will find that sometimes recipes need to be tweaked to your liking. Whether that be the seasoning, the variety of produce you use, or the best place in town to find that produce, notes are always smart to keep so that you can duplicate that yummy recipe later, just the way you made it! She also brings up an important point...involve the kids! It's never too early to teach them such valuable skills. They can help in the smallest of ways and they will still feel included, and they will still learn by watching, not to mention the bonding time! The recipes are written in simple, easy to understand details. The fact that the recipes are small batch makes this book very unique! Most recipes that you will find are tailored to large batches! I've been canning for 3 years and fermenting for 2. To me, this book is invaluable. I haven't found one to include both canning and fermenting recipes that is so well written, AND beautiful!

Love the recipes and details in this book! So many are unique and new-to-me recipes, recipes that I've never heard of in my region. Love the details and how well it is written. Highly recommend.

This book is just what I wanted, Was looking for lots of fermenting recipes for my garden harvest, it also had lots of other info that is helpful. I recommend.

Bought for my husband as a gift. He's gotten lots of information from it and has just started fermenting.
