Fowlers What’s Old Is New Again by Australian author Pam Kershaw revisits the timeless art of preserving, proving that jams, chutneys and bottled fruit still deserve pride of place in a modern kitchen. This 2015 illustrated hardcover pairs nostalgic techniques with today’s tastes, giving young and seasoned cooks a compact 95-page guide to keeping seasonal produce at its peak.
Every chapter walks readers through safe, step-by-step methods for water-bath and pressure canning, dehydrating and pickling, while colour photographs show what success looks like in the jar and on the plate. Kershaw sprinkles in serving ideas—think chilli-tomato relish on smashed avocado or spiced pear wedges on overnight oats—so nothing homemade lingers un-eaten at the back of the fridge.
The gently scuffed jacket hints at prior kitchen duty, yet the pages remain crisp, odour-free and reassuringly clean after life in a smoke-free home. A gift inscription on the front endpaper adds a personal touch without affecting readability, making this copy an ideal present for any DIY foodie who loves cookbook collectibles with a story.
Perfect for cooks curious about sustainable living, urban homesteading or simply stretching the harvest, this Australian-published manual turns surplus fruit and veg into edible gifts year-round. Search no further for a concise, confidence-building companion to jars, lids and the satisfying pop of a perfect seal.
