Canning for a New Generation: updated and expanded edition by Liana Krissoff

I read through the original Canning for a New Generation, but was interested to see what had been updated and expanded in this edition. Krissoff notes that there are new recipes, but she also clarifies some of the information on canning that was in the original cookbook. While I did like this cookbook and really enjoy canning, I personally think this is NOT something best learned from a book. Most counties have an agriculture extension office that teach very thorough and inexpensive canning classes - hands on is the best way to learn to can in my experience. But, I do appreciate the canning recipes and there are some I'd like to try, but please do NOT try to learn how to can solely from this book!

Damn Delicious by Chungah Rhee

I stumbled upon the Damn Delicious blog through Pinterest and pretty much everything I tried was great. So, I was very excited to see an actual cookbook from Damn Delicious! There were lots of new recipes and some of the favorites from the blog. Overall, just like the blog there is no way you can't find something yummy and easy to make from this cookbook!
