The poetic techniques produce... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today."e;Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canningoffers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients.An essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world.
