Book

The modern pioneer cookbook : nourishing recipes from a traditional foods kitchen / Mary Bryant Shrader.

Summary:

Before the days of refrigeration and packaged foods, home cooks made meals from scratch, using in-season ingredients to maximize their harvests and limit waste. Techniques like fermenting, drying, and pickling preserved their bounty and created healthy, simple foods--foods that we can still enjoy today. In The Modern Pioneer Cookbook, Mary Bryant Shrader shows you how to use these techniques to build a traditional foods kitchen. You'll learn how to culture dairy, make nourishing bone broths, prepare gut-friendly fermented recipes, create a sourdough starter, bake with ancient grains, render animal fats, home can fruits, pickles, and jams, and much more. Detailed instructions and practical tips ensure that you'll find success--and satisfaction--in preparing food that's healthier and more economical than what you can buy at the store. -- Provided by publisher.
