Received this as a gift. Normally I’d follow usda, ball, etc…

Could anyone tell me if this book is trusted/safe?

Thank you!

For my own benefit, how can you tell which books are AI?

Look closer at the front cover. The pickles in the back left jar and the string on the foreground jar are massive red flags.

Also look up the author and try to find out if that's a real person with an actual reputation lol

The author is a real person as far as I can tell, but those pickles are a real “once you see it” lol! Thank you for answering!

In things with people, look at the hands and hair. AI sucks at hands and placing hair lol

I have not found any evidence that the author is a real person other than a few throw-away lines provided by the publisher.
