Beginner's Guide to Preserving

“Delilah Snell is more than just a fantastic, imaginative food crafter. She thinks outside the jar while staying inside the (guide)lines. This book is full of inspired ideas that reflect her passion for preservation, her beautiful heritage, and her overall love of being in the kitchen, the garden, and anywhere good food is happening. This book is a must-have for any food preservation enthusiast.” –Rachael Narins, chef, cookbook author, and master food preserver
“Finally, a book about preserving that makes the process seem doable instead of daunting! If there ever was a guru when it comes to preserving, pickling, fermenting, or canning food, it would be Delilah Snell. From her days of teaching pickling classes in her Jam Van around Southern California to this incredibly comprehensive guide book, Delilah’s knowledge is unparalleled in the industry.” –Megvan der Kruikl, blogger, This Mess is Ours
“I was always fascinated by home preservation but terrified to start, until the day I found myself in Delilah Snell’s home kitchen. In that first private class on water bath canning she shepherded me through the process with clear instructions, marking key points along the way. She did this in a calm manner that allowed me to drop my fear and leap in. A decade later, I now process all the tomato sauce I use for the year one day each summer with friends. Delilah’s voice leaps off the pages of her book as she takes your hand on a demystifying journey into the world of food preservation. It’s a joy.” –Evan Kleiman, host of Good Food
