The Lost Kitchen Skills, Checked: Grandma's Methods, Checked Today

The Lost Kitchen Skills, Checked by Nancy Whitaker takes 42 kitchen and pantry skills from our grandparents' kitchens: root cellars, water-bath and pressure canning, drying and jerky, sauerkraut and pickles, bread and sourdough, stock, butter, yogurt and cheese. Each one shows how it was done, what the USDA, FDA, CDC, the National Center for Home Food Preservation and extension services say now, and a badge: SAFE TODAY, UPDATE IT or RETIRED, with the safe replacement. Ten line diagrams and a pantry workbook.
