CrabGrassAcres Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 "Forgotten Skills of Cooking - time honored ways are the best" by Darina Allen. Look for it used. Take basic foods and shows how to really cook from scratch. (Computer won't let me do in detail review.) Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 This one? http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Skills-Cooking-Time-Honored-Recipes/dp/1906868069/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422926541&sr=8-1&keywords=Forgotten+Skills+of+Cooking Quote Link to comment
CrabGrassAcres Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, that is the one. Computer was taking 5-6 seconds per key stroke yesterday! She has directions on plucking and cleaning poultry, taking care of chickens, skinning and cleaning rabbits, how to tell age of wild rabbits, how to make a smoker and recipes that never require opening a package of prepared food. She even has a chapter on foraging. You'll enjoy reading the extra material about her life in Ireland too. Quote Link to comment
cleanheart Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Do you think that cookbook will have a lot of things we don't eat, since she's from Ireland? Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I don't know the answer to that but if you go to the book link (listed above) it will take you to Amazon where you can buy the book. But wait...there's more! If you click on the picture of the book at the very top left hand side of the page, it will show you a peek inside the book. It shows A LOT of what is in the book including the index at the end. Edited to add that I don't have the book. I just linked it for CGA. Edited June 25, 2015 by Jeepers Quote Link to comment
Sarah Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 CGA, have you visited the cookbook archive at the paperback shelf at icsarchive.org? Quote Link to comment
Twilight Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Sarah I love old books and have my share of them. I went to the link you posted and clicked on Aunt Martha's Corner Cupboard. I did not realize it would download right then. But what downloaded was a bunch of pencil drawings...I assumed it was a cook book? Quote Link to comment
