The older the recipe book, the better - Betty Crocker, Fannie Farmer, Williamsburg, pioneer and outdoor cooking and also solar recipes. Add to that an edible weed or foraging book.

True dat. I've been making a study of books written in America post civil war and pre 1920s crash. Their instructions are a little hazy, as are the measurements, but I get the gist.

Most of the books are available for free, somewhere on the web.

I would like to try an experiment. I'm willing to post one single random recipe out of Escoffier, and see if it makes sense to you. I'll have one of the catz pick it.

If required (and I can, some, I can't) I'll explain it.

This actually does matter for the article that I'm writing.

but you need to supply the meat first and protect it from 2 and 4 legged varmints...hence MY cookbook.

it comes in at #1 with a bullet, of any prepper list.
