Great cookbook and kind of unique. New recipes but presented as totally made at home, no pre-made ingredients. really made at home. Lots for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I enjoyed the author's relationship and respect for food. Worth reading.

Lovely photographs accompany these recipes of home made traditional foods. Many of them have ingredients that I think many people may have trouble finding and may not wish to use, such as pork back fat and mortadella, but it is definitely a unique cookbook. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.

I loved that this cookbook took traditional methods of cooking and preserving food and updated it for today's use. The book is gorgeous and has many great pictures to get you started on your way to cooking great food. The pictures show the food presented beautifully and I'm always thankful for pictures, especially if I've never cooked the dish so I know about how it should turn out. I really liked that it promotes sustainable food and encouraged you to get your food from places close to you. It provides fresher food and helps support local farmers which is a win win situation.
Some of the recipes and ingredients were a little out of my comfort zone and are things I wouldn't normally cook, but
I'm grateful for recipes that include them so that I'm able to experiment. This book include basics from pickling to sauses and even homemade pasta. I love that broths are included since they are a great way to use leftover bones to create flavor profiles for new dishes.

Many recipes I would try, but largely the ingredients are things I don't necessarily have access to (local food in northern CA is different than IL). Despite that, many interesting looking techniques and several recipes that I bookmarked.
