Renowned Seattle Chef Tom Small provides step-by-step canning instruction using several methods; water bath processing, pickling, preservation in oil & alcohol, vinegars, freezing and dairy. This program is filled with valuable information you need for safely preserving gourmet delicacies in your own kitchen. Tom received his inspiration for cooking from his mom. He has a diverse culinary background including education, development and journalism in addition to his management in restaurant kitchens.

Message from Chef Small: I enjoy cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients to try and use as much local produce and meat as possible. I believe that food can be simple, and still taste amazing. I love to talk and learn about food, whether it�s with friends, customers, strangers in the grocery store, my family (even my young children) . . . it�s just part of my life. I hope that I am able to share some of this passion with you through these DVD's so that you may be inspired to cook and create for yourself, your family and friends.
