Andrea Chesman shows you how to bridge the gap between field and table, covering everything from curing meats and making sausage to canning fruits and vegetables, milling flour, working with sourdough, baking no-knead breads, making braises and stews that can be adapted to different cuts of meat, rendering lard and tallow, pickling, making butter and cheese, making yogurt, blanching vegetables for the freezer, making jams and jellies, drying produce, and much more. You'll learn all the techniques you need to get the most from homegrown foods, along with dozens of simple and delicious recipes, most of which can be adapted to use whatever you have available. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also available in this series: \n\u003ci\u003eThe Backyard Homestead, The Backyard Homestead Book of Building Projects, The Backyard Homestead Seasonal Planner, \u003c\/i\u003eand \n\u003ci\u003eThe Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eForeword\u003c\/span\u003e 11\/26\/2015 (EAN 9781612122045, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eChesman, Andrea\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea Chesman is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fat Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e as well as many other cookbooks that focus on traditional techniques and fresh-from-the-garden cooking.
