About this title

Synopsis:

Many people's image of pickle is limited to a jar of Branston or a purchase at the church fete. This is an introduction to the extraordinary range and variety of pickles and contains over 150 recipes from all over the world, including India, the Middle East, the Far East, Scandinavia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Britain. Pickling is an art requiring skill, subtlety and experience as well as patience and timing, but no two jars are ever quite the same. The recipes in this book are accompanied by techniques and hints to help the cook along the path to the perfect pickle. David Mabey has written other cookery books and is one of the presenters of the BBC2 series "The Perfect Pickle", of which David Collinson is the producer.

Review:

'Just as a good chutney can lift the whole meal, this little book is the perfect condiment for any cook's library. I love the recipes from around the world: old friends like green tomato chutney but also spiced clementines from Italy, fantastic served with pork. 'Lila das Gupta, The Telegraph'Fridges, freezers and year-round supplies of fresh produce mean that pickling and preserving are no longer a necessity, but a pleasure. The Perfect Pickle Book is enticing enough to lure both novice and old hand.'Sophie Grigson
