Re: Book ideas
Its very confusing but try to make sure you get one appropriate for UK. Unless you have a proper US pressure canner it can be dangerous preserving foods. Pressure canning should never be confused with water bath canning in case of botulism.
River Cottage do a good selection on preserving and look for WI (Womens Institute) books too.
Dehydrating is another good way of preserving food.

Ball Blue Book of Preserving is highly recommended. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ball-Preserving ... 0972753702

Re: Book ideas
John Harrison and his wife have a selection of books on preserving, based on the UK experience. I don't have their preserving books but the veg books are very good indeed, so I imagine the cookery books are of the same high quality. In fact I may get myself one for Xmas.
