This is a nice Jewish themed cookbook that is bowing to the preservation and fermentation trend. However, despite beautiful photography, it misses the mark. I feel it could do a better job working through the Jewish calendar and pairing together recipes both traditional and modern. If you are looking for a beautifully photographed book that includes basic common recipes including lekvars, sauerkraut, pickles, and more this is a good title to choose.

An amazing introduction to preserving. The author gives an introduction into her life and what exactly Jewish preserving is. This is slightly lengthy but very interesting. The preserves are split into two different chapters with a chapter at the end with recipes for how you can use the preserves. The pictures are beautiful and highlight the preserves and recipes wonderfully.

I enjoyed reading this book and felt that anyone interested in preserving would find it a great resource. It was very well written and presented

Preserving has been followed by people all over the world. It was great to read about Jewish preserving and its recipes........

I enjoyed reading this book, I appreciated the fact that the author told about her family history and how she started cooking for her family and loved ones to help to preserve her And their Jewish heritage!
I enjoyed reading through all of the recipes - from pickling cucumbers, cabbage and beets to making special holiday treats such as sufganiyot jelly doughnuts, hamentascen and Hanukkah treats such as potato latkes!
I especially want to try and make some Pumpkin Butter and Fig Jam this fall when the fruits are in season!

There are a lot of recipes in this book that I'm going to try. Would definitely recommend.


I received an advanced digital copy from NetGalley for an honest review

This is a really terrific book on preserving foods that are traditional Jewish foods. I enjoyed reading her personal story too. I am excited to try canning some of these great recipes. I liked her linking what preserves went with what Jewish holiday. Great book!
