Who wouldn't like to preserve their favourite seasonal fruits and vegetables themselves in order to enjoy them later with their loved ones? Or give them to friends in a nice glass as a personal gift? Véronique Witzigmann lets us in on her kitchen secrets and shows us how to make preserves easily. The preserving book contains recipes for classics like apple sauce or stewed cherries as well as for pumpkin chutney, mint pesto, elderflower syrup or lemon cake in a glass. The volume also contains tips for preserving and for seasonally "right" shopping. Information on helpful kitchen utensils, suitable containers, correct storage and preservation, hygiene and safety during conservation complete the recipe book. The congenial colour illustrations by Kat Menschik round off the reading pleasure.
