BatchChef Curtis Stone calls Joel MacCharles and Dana Harrison masters in the world of preserving. Their journey into preserving began with an innocent lesson in making jam. Almost a decade later, their website (WellPreserved.ca) is an extraordinary resource for both beginners and experts alike.

Their much-anticipated first cookbook, Batch, showcases seven different preserving techniques-waterbath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, fermenting, cellaring, salting & smoking, and infusing. You can learn more about the book in our author Q&A with Joel and Dana. We're delighted to offer five copies of Batch to EYB Members in the US and Canada only. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:
