mixtipp: Preserving & Pickling, Preserving Food with the Thermomix®

It has always been in our nature to build up reserves – now it’s in vogue again! Even in these times where supermarkets are open almost day and night, stock-keeping is sensible in order to preserve the summer’s harvest or even just to know exactly what it is you’re eating. Moreover, it’s cheap and saves a lot of money! For our successful author Andrea Tomicek preserving food is a family tradition. Her grandmother used to build up reserves. Like this, there was always tasty food at hand: a delicious soup or a fine sauce. Today, Andrea simply loves to preserve the fruit from her big garden for the winter. In her third volume of our mixtipp series, she has collected a smorgasbord of seasonal recipes: in spring, she makes rhubarb jam, in summer, blueberry ketchup is great for barbecuing, and in autumn, she pickles sweet-and-sour pumpkin. Like that, she provides for winter. Andrea Tomicek shows the great diversity of preserving food. Whether sauces and soups, juice and jam, sweet-and-sour vegetables and fruit – there’s something here for everybody’s taste. Traditional family recipes like Granny’s apple compote are complemented with modern preserves like Penny’s Pineapple with chili. Moreover, in the introduction you will find useful hints on what to observe when you’re preserving food. Whether you are an experienced cook or a newbie, whether you own a TM5® or a TM31®: together, preserving fruit and vegetables will be great fun!
