I used to watch this woman cook. I know her garden and where it is. I know she's done all these things most of her life. And now it's all in a great looking book so that everyone else can savor her cooking and her way of life. Hurrah. I used to watch this woman cook. I know her garden and where it is.

What a great find. Someone cooking out of their own garden with a real dairy up the road. I've tried a lot of these things. Canning, baking my own bread, even butchering my own meat. You have to be willing to do more than open a can these days to eat well. Love this book. What a great find. Someone cooking out of their own garden with a real dairy up the road.

There are too many non-natural and hard to find ingredients throughout. Was hoping for it to be more "garden to plate". There are too many non-natural and hard to find ingredients throughout. Was hoping for it to be more "garden to plate".
