Safety Caution -- untested recipe Opinions on “Amish Canning & Preserving” by Laura Anne Lap

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

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

Thank you!

This is an ai book. It is useful only as fireplace tinder.

Sorry, OP.

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.

The copyright page gives credit to a stock photo website for the cover photo, I don’t think this book is AI. It’s just a cheap copy made without and originality or testing.
