Notes


This book offers a broad historical survey of food preservation, tracing the ways people have extended the life of food from ancient societies through to the modern age. In Pickled, Potted and Canned, Sue Shephard examines methods such as salting, drying, smoking, pickling, fermenting, and canning, and also considers contemporary technologies, including preservation for space travel, presenting the subject as cultural and technological history rather than practical instruction manual.
