Review: No recipes, but a bit of decent advice for home food preservationists

This was a Kindle freebie for me and I skimmed through it, then immediately deleted it. Although it could be a good primer for someone trying to figure out if they want to try food drying or canning, it really is not useful to an experienced canner or to a person who has already experimented with food drying. Without recipes, this is just advice. It is not a how-to. It's half a how-to without the recipes. I rated it OK because I do believe that any publication that promotes home food preservation in a sensible and safe way deserves at least that. I have been canning for nearly 30 years and this book is not as useful to me as a book that contains new ideas and recipes. If you are a novice canner and interested in food drying as well, you should get yourself the Ball Blue Book and start from there. If you want recipes, skip this book.
