Question for the cooks out there Is there a cook book out there that gets back to the essential basics of cooking. I'm talking about making yeast, meat preservation, and basic recipes. I picked up an heirloom Betty Crocker book today, but it was written for the era stretching from the 20s to the 60s. I'm looking for something a little more hard core than that.

Re: Question for the cooks out there hit bravenewbookstore.com and get a copy of Nourishing Traditions. It covers many areas and is a thick book. It teaches how to prep food to get the most enzyme activity and nourishing qualities like the old-timers did it. Since I got this book I tossed out the microwave, use stainless steel and cook in cast iron. My health is noticeably BETTER. Also taking green foods like Ennerfood. A-HEE-HEEEEEEEEe OWE! :getdown:

Re: Question for the cooks out there <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>"House Keeping in Old Virginia" 1887, "The Graded Cookbook" 1888 are two in my library that fit the bill. The problem is finding them. I think there are reprints of "House Keeping in Old Virginia" but I�m pretty sure "The Graded Cookbook" is looong out of print, which is unfortunate because it is the best.</o:p>

Re: Question for the cooks out there Thanks for those titles mtnman. The Graded Cookbook is too rich for my blood but here it is if another GIMer wants it. http://www.biblio.com/details.php?dcx=77755189&aid=frg Picked up a copy of Housekeeping In Old Virginia from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Housekeeping+In+Old+Virginia&x=21&y=23 Amazon I'll keep that one in mind renegade, Might pick it up after the other one arrives. Thanks for the site cortez. I keep reading about eating raw but not enough to take the plunge yet.

Re: Question for the cooks out there I am not a cook, but I had the same question just now. So I went to a professional chef forum and saw that this question gets asked quite a bit. They agree seemingly overwhelmingly that "Joy of Cooking" 75th anniversary edition is the way to go. Here are some threads on books http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/cookb...-cookbook.html http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/cookb...ner-books.html more towards professional learning http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/cookb...ks-please.html Cool techniques http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/food-...ds-go-wow.html Tutorials Online http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?...ter=all&st=120 The member-supported eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters is proud to present its online culinary academy, the eGullet Culinary Institute (eGCI).

Re: Question for the cooks out there Here's a book. The title is Stocking Up, by Carol Hupping Stoner, published in1977 by Rodale Press, in Emmaus PA, USA. This is cooking, canning, drying, freezing ect. It explains how to make butter, cheese, you name it and several methods for each, like churn, blender or by shaking in a jar. Really to much to list. Soap, jerky, render lard, smoking, on and on. Good luck finding a copy. Maybe I could copy a few choice paragraphs and post them sometime

Re: Question for the cooks out there Stocking Up from Amazon Amazon Amazon

Re: Question for the cooks out there Sorry if this a repeat, I didn't read every single line above. I love the Fannie Farmer Cookbook ! Mine is sooo old it's all turned yellow & falling apart, but it's the one cookbook that has everything in it, IMO.

Re: Question for the cooks out there When I was a boy we had the Foxfire series running around the house. It may be of help with primitive storage and basic preserving. E-A Mountain Man that is a very cool book!! E-A
