I bought this book and was really happy that I had. It isn't full of glossy photos but it has lots of information and really tells you what you need to know to get growing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants no nonsense information.

I've been wanting to make preserves for years, but I've only just started to do it. Loving the whole River Cottage ethos, I was naturally interested in this book. I read some great reviews and so I bought it, and IMO it's just as wonderful as others said it was.
There's a wealth of inspiring recipes, many of which come with suggestions for modifications which can be made by those who have different ingredients/would like to use something slightly different. Everything is clearly explained, and the photographs just make me want to go down to the kitchen and eat up every last preserve in the fridge! This book is an absolute inspiration. I'd defy anyone even very slightly interested in making their own jams, chutneys, ... Read More: >>More Details |

I found this book on a friends shelf and had to buy my own immediately. It inspired me so much that I have moved to New Zealand and bought a ten acre small-holding which is run using John Seymour's principles.
This book is approachable and amusing, it is not everything you'll ever need to be self-siffient buts it a bloody good start and always the first place I look for information. >>More Details |

Keeping the Harvest: Preserving Your Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs, Canning, Jams and Jellies, Freezing, Pickling, Drying, Curing, Cold Storage (Down-To-Earth Book)by: Nancy Thurber, Gretchen Mead, Nancy Chioffi 1991-08 |

Easy to read book but I didn't realise (when I purchased the book) that it's written for the American market. Terms included 'canning' (not to be confused with commercial canning) when in the UK we say 'Bottling' and everything is in cup measurements etc. Also harvest times are obviously different too.

This, like many of Marguerite Patten's other 'Basics' other books, is simply invaluable. Particularly key, now many of us are growing our own & therefore understand the seasonal 'glut' dilemma - there are, I promise you, only so many cucumbers you can eat in a week ........

Food for Free (Collins GEM)by: Richard Mabey August 02, 2004 |

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it comes to mushrooms ...

I was given this book as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed it. I concur with other reviewers so won't waffle on about how good it is. Why only 4 stars? There's nothing on the importance of companion planting when using organic methods and without this, my veg patch wouldn't survive. This info can be researched elsewhere, so other than that, I would recommend this book, especially for a beginner. I'm just about to buy another copy for my best friend who is just that!
