The Backyard Homestead Book of Kitchen Know-How: Field-to-Table Cooking Skills

by Andrea Chesman

Description

Transforming homegrown ingredients into satisfying meals requires more than a productive garden or well-stocked pasture—it requires practical kitchen skills. This comprehensive guide covers the full field-to-table process, from curing meat, making sausage, and rendering fats to milling grain, baking bread, preserving produce, and creating butter, cheese, yogurt, pickles, jams, and jellies. Alongside essential techniques, it offers adaptable recipes for braises, stews, baked goods, and everyday meals designed to make the most of whatever a homestead provides. Clear, hands-on, and resourceful, it is an invaluable companion for anyone seeking to reduce waste, preserve seasonal abundance, and cook with greater self-sufficiency.
