Now I just had to spend money twice. Sure, here are no send recipes in there with ingredients that you usually never has at home. It has also not on each side of great photos. The haircut of the photo models in the pictures may not be up-to-date. And maybe it reads not as exciting as a detective story. But it has that ?? Everything you need to know about canning, can be found here. These basic recipes are included, which also completely sufficient, because basically it has already its own recipes. Whether the ladies pictured grade freshly come from the catwalk or not, I honestly could not care less. And criticized the book is aimed exclusively at "Housewives": The preface begins with the words "revered housewife, dear reader." Male enough? Other than that I rate even a DIY book bad, just because I'm not explicitly referred to as woman on each side ...
Conclusion: If you want to know all about the correct boiling, is at the right place, even to the very fair price. Wems more look around and exotic recipes go, you should look for something else.
