REVIEW:
In a world where we’re looking for ways to not only preserve home grown food or to find ways to use up what’s on offer from the supermarkets, often we overlook the art of pickling unless of course it the traditional pickled onion that many of us have a taste for.
What this book from Kelly brings is a whole selection of choices that will make not only wonderful meal accompaniments but also create new tastes for the adventurous eater. It’s interesting; it’s fun and of course if you have someone looking to make something for friends on the build-up to the seasonal holiday at years end, they’ll find inspiration alongside tried as well as tested items that really will add that extra sparkle to leftovers.
