Air-drying, lacto-fermentation, or preserving foods in oil, vinegar, salt or sugar These recipes are unfamiliar and even outlandish, but the aim is to preserve food as close to fresh as possible More than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients Description Product Description More than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes! "The methods here [will] inspire us with their resourcefulness, their promise of goodness, and with the idea that we can eat well year around."―Deborah Madison Over 100,00 copies sold! 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 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. Inside, you’ll learn how to: Preserve without nutrient loss Preserve by drying Preserve with oil, vinegar, salt, and sugar Make sweet-and-sour preserves Preserve with alcohol As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, "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 offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients. An essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world.
