Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning
Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation
By The Gardeners & Farmers of Terre Vivante
 |
Book Price: $24.00 198 pages  |
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
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 more nutritious and energy
efficient. As Eliot Coleman says, „Food preservation techniques
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.
Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning (originally published as Keeping
Food Fresh) 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.
