James Samuel Davis

James Samuel Davis has cultivated a deep passion for home cooking and traditions since childhood, thanks to the lessons he received in the family home located in the lush Vermont countryside. As a child, James spent hours in his grandmother's sunny kitchen, where he learned the secrets of food preservation, such as homemade strawberry jams and pickled vegetables, methodologies passed down from generation to generation to cope with the long winters. Over the years, this passion has turned into a personal mission to preserve not only the food, but also the stories and traditions that each dish brings. Through travels to different regions of the United States, James explored and collected different preservation techniques, enriching his art and expanding his culinary repertoire. His book, "Water Bath Canning & Preserving Cookbook for Beginners," was created with the intent of sharing this knowledge with those new to the world of home preservation.

Through the pages of his book, James shares not only tested recipes and reliable techniques but also personal stories and anecdotes that emphasize the importance and beauty of taking the time to cook and preserve food. This approach aims to create an emotional connection with readers, encouraging them to see preserving as an act of love for themselves and their families. In "Water Bath Canning & Preserving Cookbook for Beginners," readers will find an understanding ally and an experienced mentor who can guide them step by step through the world of home preservation, turning frustrating initiatives into fulfilling and tasty successes.
