Pick a Pickle: 50 Recipes for Pickles, Relishes, and Fermented Snacks: A Cookbook Stationery – March 25, 2014

The recipes are just great and approachable, you will definitely be inviting pickles to your dinner table more often. I love the homemade vinegars and we can't stop eating the turnip stem pickles. Don't be put off by the comments on the packaging. After about 2 minutes of trying to deal with the fanned pages, I just took a sharp knife and cut the white plug that holds the recipes together. The glossy recipe cards then fit nicely into the case with the elastic holding them all together and when you need a card, just remove it from the pack. Hope a future revision keeps the loose card format, much better than a book when making something wet like pickles.

So cute. Great layout, great recipes.

I do a lot of canning and I'm drawn to making preserves and pickles that are a bit unusual. I figured that as a professional chef Hugh Acheson might have something a little different to offer here. He seems to know what he's about on Top Chef at least, and his resume is impressive! Also, he has a focus on Southern cuisine and I love Southern food. I think this little book reflects that. I was excited to find a recipe for a very unusual vinegar (Orange and Cream Soda Vinegar) that I started last night. I also love his idea of pickling green tomatoes in slices, so you can top a sandwich with one. The presentation of those in the picture is very nice too. There are a fair amount of quick pickles (refrigerator pickles which can't be canned), but enough here that makes it a worthwhile addition to my collection of preserving cookbooks. The photographs are great too. My only complaint is that the format and design, while attractive, is somewhat awkward to use.

It is in a fun and easy format. The recipes are a nice variety and some unusual. It was a present and the recipient love it!

Nice recipes, like the glossy photos, but hate the flip design for turning pages is a real pain and annoying.

This is an easy to use book on how to make pickles from around the world. The fan format is very convenient, and takes up only a small amount of counter space. When this years garden coms in, I'll be making pickles, pickles and more pickles with this books recipes.

I love to pickle small batches of various fruits and vegetables and this book really fits the bill. First made the pickled cherries and they are delicious. Will be making a lot more from this book.

I agree that the topic and variety of recipes is great, and I love Acheson's style. Future editions though might benefit from re-working of the format - it's cute, but awkward to peruse (which I love to just leaf through cookbooks). Attaching the cards from the top corner, and/ or allowing you to remove the one you want to use would be a lot easier to USE the book.

Great book, cool format. Fun!
