 Picklers Beware February 2, 2008
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
As I looked over the other reviews, I saw only 1 of the 5-star raters talked about making pickles from this book. I did make 2 recipes so far, the Groysman's Fresh Pickles with Black Currant Leaves and the Cornichons. The Groysmans was good, a fermented pickle meant to be eaten in 2 weeks. The Cornichons recipe is, quite frankly, the worst pickle I have ever made. Extremely salty and extremely vinegary. I would not make the mustard pickles since they require the use of saccharine. I feel like the author did not test these recipes thoroughly enough and considering how expensive the book is, I was very disappointed overall. With the amount of time and effort we put into home preserving, the authors should make every effort to have perfect recipes that have been tested several times. I may try another pickle recipe from this book, BUT ... if you like fresh pickles, a really nice book is Easy Japanese Pickling in 5 minutes to 1 day by Seiko Ogawa. For regular canned pickles, I think Small-Batch Preserving by Ellie Topp is a really good book, although it covers all sorts of home preserves, not just pickles.

This book helped me fulfill my gift-giving needs for all the cooks on my list. It is not only informative and functional but it is so beautifully presented that it fits just as nicely on the coffee table as in the kitchen. Great recipes and great photographs combine to make one great book.

I think this book is fabulous. So cool that someone finally did a really nice book on this subject. The pictures are gorgeous and you can read it like a novel with all the little stories of different people and their backgrounds and recipes -- or you can get right into the pickling process and end up with stuff that you sort of never really thought you could make. I tried the mustard pickles and they were better than anything i've had out of a jar and took about 5 seconds to make. The Haitian Pikliz is insanely spicy, but I can't seem to keep it in my fridge between me and my husband. I can already see a gift idea for lots of my friends...a jar of pickles plus the book. How excellent.
astonishing indeed! May 24, 2003

For those interested in collecting single subject books, this is one to add to your collection. This basically covers all you need to know about pickles and how they are made throughout the world. It's like reading a personal note from a friend.
