How to Eat (And Like!) your Food Storage

Vicki Tate's Cookin' with Home Storage is vital reading for anybody with home food storage.  

So you've got a basement full of wheat and beans, but if you're like many of us you'd like a little guidance on how to use your supplies when the chips are down.

Cookin' with Home Storage includes hundreds of recipes for breads, cereals, soups and sauces, and casseroles.  Enough variety to ensure that you don't get sick of eating your stored foods.

Additionally, Vicki's cookbook carries a section on sprouting your wheat, mung, lentil, soy, flax, and alfalfa- and includes recipes for the use of your sprouts- which provide the necessary doses of vitamin C that we all need.

Vicki includes recipes for making cheese from scratch, curing meat, making homemade pasta, and (the most important course of any meal) dessert.    

She doesn't stop there, and gives directions for creating home remedies for coughs, chest congestion, aching muscles, ear aches, mosquito bites, frost bite, burns, hives, stings, cuts and infections, fevers, sore throats, canker sores, eye infections, headaches, muscle cramps, and indigestion.  She also shows how to make hygiene, and beauty products.

The deluxe version, limited to stock on hand, of Cookin' with Home Storage is now available from Country Living Productions.  When you're in the middle of making your latest gourmet masterpiece, there is nothing more frustrating than using a cookbook that won't stay open.  With the deluxe spiral bound edition of Cookin' with Home Storage you won't have that problem.  The book lays so flat that even the high winds, created by the frantic rush of the cook to get the boiling soup off the burner, won't rustle the pages.

This book also includes old time pioneer recipes, Home food storage guidelines (what and how much of it), and emergency substitutions for missing ingredients.  302 pages

Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book
By Laurel Robertson with Carol Flinders & Bronwen Godfrey

The most comprehensive book on bread baking available anywhere.  With a strict focus on breads, Laurel explores and reveals its multitude of mysteries. 

Reviews:

"Original, thorough and comprehensive...Should help to demystify the process of baking with whole grains."
- New York Times Book Review

"Here at last is a readable source of information heretofore available only to professional bakers."
- East West Journal

"Sets a new standard with clear, easily followed recipes that not only tell you 'how' but 'why'."
- Newsday

As everyone who has ever tried it knows, baking good whole-grain bread is a chancy business.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Laurel Robertson and her friends have taken up this challenge.  They have consulted with bread scientists and professional bakers.  They have studied the history of bread making and, most important, they have baked thousands and thousands of loaves themselves.

They've devised a method of baking that yields nutritious, soul-satisfying bread every time.  Using the best of old-fashioned (pre-white flour) experience, as well as the convenience of modern equipment (the food processor and the dough hook, for example), they have devised a system that consistently gives you the kind of bread you crave.

Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book takes you by the hand and leads you through the process so that you also can achieve superb results.  Equally useful is the treasury of advice.  Have you baked a brick?  Did your dough refuse to rise?  Are you too busy to bake?  Are you afraid you don't have the right equipment?  Here is all the information you need to make beautiful delicious, healthful bread.  You'll learn how to fit baking into your schedule.  You'll learn to trust yourself, to know the feel of the living dough, the mystery of the "spring", the warmth of the aroma that will fill your house- as it does Laurel's Kitchen.  447 pages

Preserving Food:
without Freezing or Canning
By The Gardeners & Farmers of Terre Vivante with foreword by Eliot Coleman

Typical 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 future- celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving fresh edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.

Translated into English for the first time, 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.  Tells how to use traditional techniques to preserve you food with salt, oil, sugar, alcohol, vinegar, drying and cold storage and lactic acid preservation.

As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword, food preservation 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 techniques produce foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today.

In addition to offering methods of food storage that don't require modern conveniences, Preserving Food  offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes.  198 pages
