Le Garde-manger

Smoking, curing, sauerkraut, canning, jam, pâtés, foie gras, fresh cheese and butter: Le Garde-manger brings together ten workshop guides and French-language references available offline. Save favourites and keep track of your preparations on iPhone or iPad.

Recipes are documented culinary adaptations. Each entry states its limits, temperatures and storage conditions; these are not universal canning schedules. The app is in development.
