The recipes are well organized and photography is beautiful. This book is great for both the beginner canner and more experienced ones. Organized by season, the recipes range from basic Strawberry Jam to more unique items like Kimchi (a korean condiment) and Meyer Lemon & Rose Petal Marmalade. Many of the canned recipes include helpful serving hints and there are some main-dish and dessert recipes scattered throughout using the canned items.

I've searched high and low for great canning books and this one takes the cake. There are so many amazing recipes, including recipes for ways to use your preserves months later. There are some seemingly repetitive recipes (like multiple strawberry or raspberry jams) but I love it! The difference between Strawberry Lemon Jam, Strawberry Lavender Jam, and Strawberry & Thai Basil Jam are huge.
Krissoff gives lots of helpful hints throughout the book and really clearly explains how canning works. The way she writes reminds me of an old friend casually teaching me how to preserve.

It's good too inspire people to can, however the only downside was that I don't need multiple "recipes" on the same thing with a few ingredients changed here & there. i.e. multiple strawberry jam recipes.

I love this book. As someone new to canning, I wanted something a little more modern with smaller batches. I live in a small apartment with almost no storage, so I can't be putting up 10 pints of pickles, or enough jam to get me through the next decade. The recipes here are realistic, and interesting. She adds a lot of different, exotic twists to old favorites, and throws in a few other preserves that some people may not have heard of, such as Nuka. There are a lot of meal recipes, but not too many. Just enough to give you ideas for your pickles. You still get the pickling and preserving recipes that you actually bought the book for. I personally can't wait to try out the Strawberry Lemon Preserves and the Cherry Clafouti. It also doesn't hurt that there's a bunch of cute labels for your jars in the back, and the photography is beautiful. Buy it!

The book "Canning for a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavours for the Modern Pantry" arrived in good time and in excellent condition. The Purchase went well, the book was good value.
