Organized by season, then by each fruit/vegetable. Filled with beautiful pictures and detail instructions. As well as a guide for what foods would pair well with it.

Disappointing concerning its size. This author must eat nothing but chutney since basically every recipe is a chutney.

Recipes from here I'd like to try:
- Vanilla pears in orange wine syrup
- Persimmons in rosehip syrup
- Sweet pickled brussels sprouts
- Moroccan cabbage
- Garlic, onion and cherry chutney
- Roasted onion and garlic marmalade
- Cinnamon-scented parsnip pear jam
- Lemon chutney
- Pomegranate pepper jelly

The book offers up a nice primer on preserving as categorized by food type. As an experienced canner, I found the book a bit lacking when wide ranging recipe inspiration is what you're seeking. Found a couple of recipes I might try this season.
