I, of course, am a huge fan of Chronicle Books. Not only do they publish great content, but their books often make excellent gifts. I know exactly the person I am going to purchase this book for. And I also might pick up a second copy for myself. The illustrations are fun and colorful and the recipes are mouth watering. My sister and I love to pickle so this book immediately caught my eye. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. If you love pickles, this one is a home run!

Oh my gosh this is the cookbook I never knew I needed!!! I love pickles so much but had no idea pickling was so accessible??? I hate cooking and am so bad at it but this seems so doable even for me.

I love the grouped flavor types. The illustrations are so bright and eye catching. I would own more cookbooks if they were fun and simple like this one.

Thanks so much for the arc, I cannot wait to try these recipes out.

First of all, this book is absolutely gorgeous. The design is playful and bright, and every page feels like a piece of art I would hang around my house.

As someone who would call themselves an intermediate pickler, I appreciated that the book is accessible enough if you’re new to pickling, but still fresh and interesting for anyone with more experience. I loved the range of flavors and styles, especially the inclusion of global recipes. The torshi and curtido especially caught my eye, and it was cool to see how pickling connects so many different cultures. The little pickle facts throughout the book were a fun bonus, too!

Whether you’re just getting into pickling or have been doing it for years, Pickles, Illustrated would make a beautiful and useful addition to any cookbook shelf.

Thank you to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you #NetGalley and #Chronicle books for the advanced copy of #Pickles illustrated.
The author #Karen Solomon did a nice concise way of organizing this small cookbook about the art of fermentation and pickling! The best aspect was the “fun facts about pickles” that sprinkled throughout the book. The recipes are easy for the untrained pickler but interesting enough for any level to expand from. It’s a two dills up for me!
