Glad you are getting the squash. You will read that cookbook from beginning to end because there is so much information besides recipes in there but you will also read the recipes because nothing in your fridge is used to cook any of that. She scaled down the recipe amounts also so there wouldn’t be a whole bunch of left overs since you would have no refrigeration. You can double the recipe of course if you have more people to feed than the original recipe.
The making cheese recipe is so simple and then using the peppercorns with that cheese makes a cheese that lasts days without refrigeration.
It’s just the best thing I have to make meals without power and no refrigerator.
I’ll have second that. I have read through that book twice, and keep it handy next to the computer. I am always thinking of something that I need it to refresh my memory.
I also really enjoy the book : “Back to Basics - a complete guide to Traditional Skills”. It goes beyond pantry and recipes to gardening, energy, preserving, homesteading etc.
Thanks so much for the additional info, Marcella! I will read it all carefully!
