Are you a homesteader or interested in the 'old ways'?

My Kitchen Bible!

This is a wonderful kitchen resource! My most-used cookbook. It is an A-Z encyclopedia of every food you can think of, as well as many I never heard of! It includes comprehensive coverage on growing/raising food, the different methods of storage applicable, creative and unique recipies for every food item. There are chapters on freezing, cold storage, root cellers, canning, drying, butchering. It is so exhaustive that there is much in it I personally do not care to know, such as how to skin and prepare squirrel, opposum, chevon, making head cheese, cooking with frogs, heart and pig's feet. I said it was exhaustive! But it also has great stuff for grinding and cooking with whole grains, whole foods, natural sweetenings, making yogurt and cheese, natural leavenings, etc. I will be buying a copy to give to my daughter when she is older. This book is a homesteader's dream come true.
