Best selling cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough return to OWL.

You won’t want to miss the opportunity to meet these culinary experts as they guide us through the wonders of “Cold Canning.” This, their newest title, joins their internationally bestselling cookbook list at #37!

Cold canning is a revolutionary way to preserve the best of each season, without the headache. No vats of boiling water. No unwieldy tools. No long hours at the stove.

Instead, make a few jars in minutes – and save them for months to a year in your fridge or freezer. It’s easier, tastier, and more fun than traditional canning.

• Work less to get fresher flavors
• Save money with smaller batches
• Use less sugar and salt
• Trust that it’s safe
• Anyone can do it – from beginners to pickling pros!
In their team, Bruce (above in white shirt) is the chef and Mark (black shirt), is the writer. Together, they’ve published over 37 cookbooks, hit international best-seller lists, won national and international awards, and have been interviewed by the best, from Lester Holt to Barbara Walters.

BRUCE also writes knitting books, designs patterns, and teaches knitting workshops.

Besides writing their cookbooks, MARK also teaches literature classes; has a podcast called Walking With Dante; and has written a memoir. For more information about Mark’s literary side and find out when and where he’s teaching, click here.

Winsted’s Curious Cat Bookshop will be selling signed copies of the book at the event.
