Keeping Food Fresh
Old World Techniques & Recipes

Typical books about preserving garden produce nearly always assume that modern "kitchen gardeners" will boil or freeze their vegetables and fruits.  Yet here is a book that goes back to the future--celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving fresh edibles in ways that maximize the flavor and nutrition.

Translated into English for the first time, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more energy-efficient.

As Eliot Coleman says in his forward, "The Poetry of Food," "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories:  the modern scientific methods that remove life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food.  The poetic techniques produce... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today."

Keeping Food Fresh offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.  1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
