Canning and Preserving Made Simple was such a fascinating audiobook. As a beginner guide, the book covered so many different methods of preserving food (I had no idea some of these methods were an option for me). Each chapter covered one of the methods, and it allowed me to hear them all and compare the methods and techniques so I would be able to select a few to try. The author also covered selecting the right kinds of food from the store and harvesting your own garden for preserving.

As someone new to canning and preserving, (more like a hobbyist) I found the book completely motivating to give it a shot and possibly save money canning some produce.
