Farmhouse Kitchen

In these days of pre-packed and frozen foods most people look back nostagically to the traditional farmhouse kitchen - hams being smoked-cured with oak sawdust and bunches of fresh-picked herbs drying out near the stove. This book concentrates on recipes, vastly expanding this practical aspect of The Yorkshire TV series 'Farmhouse Kitchen'....here are recipes for brewing beer and making wine; preserving fruit in bottles, jams, jellies, syrups; making cheese and clotting cream. Then there are recipes for baking, from a flowerpot loaf to a lardy cake; delicious pickles, chutneys, brawns and potted meats. And as a natural continuation, hints on freezing fresh produce and your own cooked dishes.
