For the Kitchen Poet
Who Rhymes “Nutritious” with “Delicious”
$ 25.00 USD
YPICAL BOOKS ABOUT PRESERVING garden produce nearly always
assume that modern “kitchen gardeners” will boil or freeze
their vegetables and fruits. Yet here is a book that goes back to
the furure—celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for
storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.
Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison,
this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in
favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more
energy-efficient.
‘As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, “Food
preservation cechnigues can be divided into two categories: the modern
scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural poetic’
methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic tech-
nigues produce foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are
considered gourmet delights today.”
Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning offers more than 250 easy
and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined
ingredients. It is an essential guide for those who seek healthy food for
a healthy world,
