Yet here is a book that goes back celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, 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.Inside, you&’ll learn how to:Preserve without nutrient lossPreserve by dryingPreserve with oil, vinegar, salt, and sugarMake sweet-and-sour preservesPreserve with alcoholAs Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, &“Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the 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.&”Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning offers 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.
