The New Homemade Kitchen

Love this book. Practical guides to really up your cooking game in general. Some of the recipes are pretty long-term projects, not labor-intensive, but it will take a while to finish, like sauerkraut, pickling, etc., which might not be for some but I LOVE the idea in general. Already, I have starting dehydrating herbs and making my own ground spices. The difference in store bought ground ginger versus homemade is hands down. When I tasted the store bought, it actually made me pucker and make an ugly face. But the homemade was just spicy enough and fresh, and the aroma is heavenly, it was amazing. Home ground ground nutmeg has a deeper, nuttier flavor. I'm going to do this for my whole spice rack. Can't wait to try every recipe in this book. There is enough to keep me occupied for years.

Beautiful book ,great photography and stories as well as recipes. Great for enthusiastic cooks who want to spend time in the kitchen and make great staples in your own kitchen .Spice mixes,sauces,doughs, also pickling preserving,canning and even cheese making, this book has it all.A great reference book for every kitchen .

I am a want to be homesteader. However I live in the city with a yard the size of a postage stamp. But the heart wants what the heart want. I have plenty of famers around me, with no time to teach me. This is the next best thing. This looks like a long read. Lots of information and lots to digest. No other book like it. Recipes for making your own mustard, flavored coffee Liqueur, making crackers, bread, pickles of 90 varieties. I think I would like to brine my own corned beef and then cook it. I now have the step by step ingredients to do just that. Like I said, this is a intense book.

great every day kitchen ideas.

I really liked this book. It had fun stories and great pictures. I love the way it is laid out, once you learn basic techniques the author gives you ideas for adding different flavors. I'll be giving it as a gift this year along with some ingredients and simple tools mentioned. This would make a cool kit!
