review 1: While I generally stay away from cookbooks that are linked to restaurants (there is hardly ever anything worth cooking from them!!!) this book is so stand-out that it should manage to be a classic that far outlasts the life of the restaurant. It doesn't just give you recipes for replicating the jams sold at this San Francisco store. It also provides the reader with quite a bit of reference material, from the different traditional styles of marmalade preparations (which can last up to 3 days) to qualities of fruit and flowers to seasonal lists of produce by month. The last bit only really applies if you live in California, but I DO so it works out great for me.A must have for those who are serious about food preservation.
review 2: I wavered between giving this... more book 3 stars or 4 stars. I ended up giving it 4 stars because the process and description of the process is excellent. The main reason I wavered had to do with the recipes. Not that the recipes are wrong or bad, but she is very specific about which varieties of a particular fruit to use and thus I think most of the recipes will become guidelines for me rather than actual recipes. If I can't find the particular variety I will experiment with what I can find.To sum it up, her information is great and well laid out, but I felt the recipes were a bit too product specific. less
