Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Vanilla shortbread

    • Christine on March 10, 2018

      These are so good! 4 ingredients, simple to make, and so delicious. I will be making these again to finish off the jar of vanilla sugar that's been lingering in my pantry.

  • Bottled rhubarb with orange ginger

    • Astrid5555 on January 05, 2016

      I finally opened last year's canned rhubard with orange ginger today and I am disappointed. I was expecting a little spice kick from the ginger to compliment the rhubarb/orange flavor, however the ginger is overwhelming and the only thing you taste.

Publishers Text

This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of the country kitchen, from the simple pleasures of baking bread and cakes, to curing, dairymaking, bottling, potting and preserving. Discover the endless joys of the country kitchen, with recipes that stand the test of time as well as helpful technique sections and information on the ingredients and equipment you'll need. An artisan food revival has taken place in recent years, making country kitchen skills a celebrated part of everyday life. These days, many cooks are seeking out the techniques their grandmothers took for granted, and realising that patient preparation and tantalising anticipation can make home-produced delicacies taste even better. Experience the delights of the dairy by churning your own butter and soft cheese; make the most of seasonal fruits by transforming them into cordials and liqueurs; enjoy the aroma of freshly baked cakes, pastries and biscuits; feel the satisfaction that comes from salting and smoking meat at home; and fill up your larder with a mouthwatering array of jams, jellies and chutneys.
