review 1: I figured I was buying a cookbook about canning. I was so wrong. This book has more recipes for canning everything you could imagine and then some, but it's so much more than that. It has poems, art, history, essays, folklore ... I could sit down and read through this book for hours. But then I would be wasting time that I could be using putting up for the winter.This is, however, an American book, not a North American book -- so no recipes for my local Saskatchewan saskatoons or chokecherries. But if you ever wanted to make a shrub (an old-fashioned soft drink), a chew (fruit leather), or have more recipes for peach jam than you imagined were possible, this is the book for you. It's definitely the book for me!
review 2: I borrowed this book from the libr
... moreary in hopes to find some recipes for canning. The books is gorgeous, I'm sure I would like to eat most of the recipes in it and I liked how it was divided into seasons. Unfortunately, the majority of his recipes include ingredients that are difficult to find her in the winter-bound Kansas. I may pick it up again in the summer, but for now it is back to the library. less

Beautiful book. But I prefer less story-telling in my cookbooks.
