The Joy of Pickling, 3rd Edition: 300 Flavor-Packed Recipes for All Kinds of Produce from Garden or Market

I have an earlier edition of this same book and am really glad I added this to my recipe book collection. So much of this book is new. This is a must have recipe book if you enjoy canning, fermenting or pickling.

Love this book. Really great recipes for pickling things other than just cucumbers. The fermented eggplants are amazing. I love all the recipes from different cuisines and cultures (human and microbiotic! :) ) I made the full sour pickled cucumbers last year (a natural ferment) and they were hands down the best pickles I have ever eaten.

Really digging the inventive recipes & stories behind them are lovely. Made a few so far, all proportions are spot on, well worth it.

An old paperback edition of this book got me started with pickling and fermenting foods and has been my go to start for years. I bought the Kindle edition. It has my favorite recipes and it looks like a few new one. It’s a great book. Lots of variety in the recipes. For the home gardener you can find a recipe using something you have rather than buying studs for the recipe. She gives good ideas for safe substitutions. The one limitation is many of the recipes are for larger batches. I find them very easy to halve. For fermented items this is easy but she does explain vegetable to brine ratios for fresh pickles and fives warnings when to be careful.

A sciencey book on pickling, including fermented pickles, what I really wanted. Written for schmucks like me, yet with enough scientific explanation to inform anyone familiar with fermenting things on how to do this properly. The east coast fermented pickles turned out great.

this is an excellent book to have! the print could have been larger, and the quality of the paper could have been better also, but the content was excellent! the author is very down to earth, and my compliments to the author ! if her other book, the joy of jams, jellies and other sweets with 200 recipes is anything like this book with 300 recipes, im sure this is a set of books to have, and I did buy both. I just haven't put down this one yet to read the other one!!

I waited for about 3 years to purchase this book, and now I know why I did. It's not the most well-written book I have ever purchased. Some technical aspects are left unexplained.The background about pickling and utilizing components to keep the ingredients firm are helpful for sure. I appreciate the discussion about vinegars. The section about how to determine the percentage acid content in the vinegar was a little bit too advanced for most readers.The author lives in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and expresses their ideological point of view often which is based on geographical setting. I would have appreciated an alternative means of acquiring grape or cherry leaves since I don't necessarily live where grape vines are that abundant.

This is a wonderful book. I lent my 1st edition to somebody and could not remember who so when pickle season came around I felt the need for my favorite pickling book. There are quite a few more recipes in this edition. Definitely a comfort to have this amazing resource at my disposal.

At CNN last a book that tells you how it should be done the best way. I’m turning into the pickle master...

Omg this is just what I wanted! Great range of recipes and with it being American it’s really opened up my repertoire of pickles and ingredients beyond the average.

good item

great

Un buon libro per chi ama i pickles e il mondo dei fermentati. Peccato che l’assenza di foto penalizzi un pò la godibilitá del tutto. Su un cosi grande numero di ricette qualche immagine aiuterebbe a decidere su cosa orientarsi
