“In the world of preserving, Joel MacCharles and Dana Harrison are the masters, the authority. Batch packs everything you’ll ever need to know about preserving into one cohesive bible. Joel and Dana’s passion project takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of preserving and offers both simple and adventurous, and totally flavor-forward recipes.” —Chef Curtis Stone, New York Times bestselling author and chef/owner of Maude Restaurant  
 
Joel and Dana’s journey into preserving began with an innocent lesson in making jam. Almost a decade later, WellPreserved.ca is an extraordinary resource for both beginners and experts alike. Their much-anticipated first cookbook showcases seven different preserving techniques—waterbath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, fermenting, cellaring, salting & smoking, and infusing—and takes readers on a trip to the market in twenty-five ingredients. Within each ingredient chapter, you’ll find multiple preserving recipes using the different methods. From apples, pears, peaches and rhubarb, to asparagus, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes, and covering a variety of meat and fish, Batch teaches you everything you need to know to get the most out of your kitchen.

With their signature approachable and fun style, Joel and Dana showcase techniques for a variety of skill levels, explain how to batch your recipes to make two preserves at once, give you multiple options for preserving in ten minutes or less, and serve up mouthwatering center-of-the-plate meals that take your preserves from the pantry to the table. With personal anecdotes, creative and incredible recipes, and beautiful photography and illustrations, Batch will show you how to incorporate preserving into your life and your community.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Batch:

“I always felt intimidated by preserving, but the illustrations and instructions in Batch are easy to follow, and I love that I can make some recipes in just ten minutes while spending more time ‘batching’ others. Most of all, I love how the recipes creatively use every part of the fruit or vegetable.” —Jeanine Donofrio, author of The Love & Lemons Cookbook: An Apples to Zucchini Celebration of Impromptu Cooking
 
“Joel and Dana have created a roadmap for preserving, and present it as an opportunity: raspberries become jam or vinegar or sauce for venison, cabbage transforms into sauerkraut. Encouraging and instructive, this book should be in every cook’s kitchen.” —Cathy Barrow, author of Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Practical Pantry: Recipes and Techniques for Year-Round Preserving
 
“Gorgeous photography, very hip illustrations, and I love the styling. This book is a beauty!” —Erin Gleeson, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest Feast
 
“Visually stunning! Batch makes preserving accessible, removes the mystery on how to fill a pantry and celebrates cooking with local ingredients and the communities who bring them to the table.” —Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, founders of Beekman 1802
 
“Joel and Dana have offered up to the world an approachable, exciting and manageable way to create a season-less kitchen by preserving the market in a variety of different ways. This book teaches people how to transform the foods they ‘batch' into delicious meals layered with concentrated flavors.” —Chef Cortney Burns and Chef Nick Balla, Bar Tartine

5.0 out of 5 stars Think you've read all the canning books? Read this one anyway. Its worth it!
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2016

This is a great book unlike many (most) of the other canning and preserving books out there. I loved the formatting and new way of presenting the materials. It expands your ideas of preserving to add smoking, using salts, fermenting in unusual ways and other things I cant remember right now... there was so much to think about with this book. It then had a large portion f space at the end dedicated to recipes using the techniques they wrote about earlier on... and many of the recipes were things I hadn't seen in typical preserving and canning books. Many of the recipes were for things that were very simple... but very useful. Like they talk about 4 or 5 ways to use a lemon to preserve lemon flavors... great ideas to not waste the lemons but also to make something useful to add to dishes (like fish) without much effort. I've been canning and preserving for quite a while but I learned a lot of new things by reading this book. If you think this is just "another canning book" you are wrong... get it and you be inspired to see things differently.

Love this book-- it goes beyond canning to smoking, fermenting, and salting. It is my new go-to wedding gift cookbook. I honestly haven't made too many yet, but the quality of the book and descriptions is great, and I'm impressed by the variety. It has great recipes for preserving all kinds of things, combined with main courses to serve them with. The difficulty is clearly rated, so its a safe bet for beginners and seasoned canners alike. There is an entire section on meats. Did I mention its very well organized and has the best illustrations.

Loved the pictures, organization, & easy to understand directions, but I did notice a couple of times where a detail was left out. Maybe just get a good editor next time to go through it with a fine tooth comb for errors of omission. Otherwise, this is a fantastic book for a refresher course or for someone who is new to the whole food preservation movement. I especially liked that it contains some modern recipes & it covers many different methods, not just canning. Great job, beautiful book!

As a sometime water bath canner, I enjoyed the information on other types of preserving and the ideas on flavors from the bloggers of We'll Preserved. Joel's voice and Dana's artwork created a fun read, and I anticipate much fun trying out their recipes. I bought this book after reading a review on another blog by Marisa McClellan, of Food in Jars. Happy canning!

This book is laid out wonderfully. It goes through 25 very practical foods and multiple ways to preserve them using the entire food, even doing multiple types of preserving at the same time with little to no extra effort. I can’t wait to preserve my way through this book. Traditional preservation and modern flavors unite.

Buying the cookbook BATCH is the best money I've ever spent on Amazon.
Written by a young couple who started canning with their parents then realized it was also fun, plus, a healthier way of eating. I've enjoyed the easy recipes and already ordered three more for Xmas gifts for my children.
I could not put the book down. The illustrations are also fantastic. So easy to follow.

This book does give lots of info for all kinds of batching. My only complaint, is it only focuses on 27 fruits and vegetables. I wanted to pickle some Orka, and it is not one of the 27.
