Perfect for you if...

  • You grow vegetables and end up with more courgettes than you know what to do with, and want practical ways to preserve them.
  • You love bold, funky flavours and want to make your own fermented condiments instead of buying them jarred.
  • You're curious about food preservation but find most guides intimidating, and appreciate step-by-step instructions that actually work.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cooking that doesn't involve jars, vinegar, or waiting weeks for flavours to develop.
  • You're looking for quick weeknight recipes rather than preservation projects that require planning and patience.
  • You have no interest in gardening or sourcing fresh produce, and would rather just buy pickles from the shop.

About this book

Recipes cover quick pickles, fresh pickles, fermented pickles, sweet and fruity pickles, hot sauces, relishes, salsas, sauerkraut, and chutney. The guide provides an introduction to pickling history and different pickle types, step-by-step instructions for canning and fermentation, guidance on selecting ingredients, and directions for creating spice blends.
