This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of the country kitchen, from the simple pleasures of baking bread and cakes, to curing, dairymaking, bottling, potting and preserving. Discover the endless joys of the country kitchen, with recipes that stand the test of time as well as helpful technique sections and information on the ingredients and equipment you'll need. An artisan food revival has taken place in recent years, making country kitchen skills a celebrated part of everyday life. These days, many cooks are seeking out the techniques their grandmothers took for granted, and realising that patient preparation and tantalising anticipation can make home-produced delicacies taste even better. Experience the delights of the dairy by churning your own butter and soft cheese; make the most of seasonal fruits by transforming them into cordials and liqueurs; enjoy the aroma of freshly baked cakes, pastries and biscuits; feel the satisfaction that comes from salting and smoking meat at home; and fill up your larder with a mouthwatering array of jams, jellies and chutneys.
