Covering Italian cured charcuterie inspired by Giancarlo's family recipes, jams and chutneys evoking Katie's memories of cooking with her mother to pickling, fermenting, freezing and pressure canning they combine traditional tried-and-tested methods with a thoroughly modern perspective. This comprehensive guide to conserving - from jams and chutneys to cures and smokes - includes all the essential technical information you need to make perfect preserves.
