Few canning cookbooks strike such a perfect balance of bold flavors, clear instructions and need-to-know safety precautions as Molly Bravo's The Essential Canning Cookbook. New canners - and veterans alike - will particularly love the thoughtful myth-busting and the inspiring month-by-month preservation calendar, which instantly breaks down the idea that all of your preservation has to happen in one big summertime sprint. I've been canning for over a decade and still found myself oohing and aahing over the inspired flavors and illuminating tips in this book.
