Synopsis: From the kitchen of The Canning Diva(R) comes a newly updated, revised and expanded edition of “Canning Full Circle: From Garden to Jar to Table” by Diane ‘The Canning Diva’ Devereaux — the perfect and ideal cookbook specially designed to teach novice kitchen cooks how they can cook utilizing their home canned goods.
“Canning Full Circle” breaks the mold of traditional canning cookbooks by demonstrating how to preserve your favorite foods and use them in meals, desserts, drinks, and more! Create delicious dishes like Black Bean Casserole, Fruit Cocktail Cake, and authentic Chicken Posole. This revolutionary cookbook keeps your pantry (and stomachs) full no matter the season.
Not a home canner? No problem! “Canning Full Circle” includes recipes, tips, and techniques every home cook will find valuable. You can learn culinary skills in every recipe and master home canning techniques with handy QR codes shared throughout chapter one.
Revised and expanded, this new edition of “Canning Full Circle” features more than 100 recipes and provides valuable guidance keeping you safe through it all.
Critique: Profusely and beautifully illustrated with full color photography throughout, this large format (8.03 x 0.57 x 9.99 inches, 1.66 pounds) paperback edition of “Canning Full Circle: From Garden to Jar to Table, Revised and Expanded Edition” is impressively ‘user friendly’ in organization, instruction, and presentation. While an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Canning/Preservation and Cookbook collections, it should be noted that “Canning Full Circle” is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $16.99).
Editorial Note: Diane Deveraux (https://www.canningdiva.com) started home canning in her thirteenth summer alongside family and friends. She immediately grew a passion for the art and started her own garden at the mere age of fifteen. After college, Diane created her brand, The Canning Diva, in order to blend her passion for gardening and preserving with her knowledge of preparedness and self-reliance. She cans throughout the year to provide a healthy lifestyle for herself and family, and encourages others to do the same. Today, she continues to educate others on canning and preserving with various culinary classes, a weekly radio show and numerous YouTube videos.
