After posting in the "butter" thread,i went back to a book that i have had for years,and realised how useful this would be to OS`ers.
it is a permaculture book,by Bill Mollison called "Ferment and human Nutrition"
isbn; 0-908228-06-6
it covers preserving,drying,smoking,pickles,ferments etc
fungi
legumes
roots,bulbs etc
dairy
meat
fish
beers,wines etc
it is an amazing book,has 100`s of recipes/methods...you can even make your own fermented fush sauce!! don`t tell the neighbours!

that would be fish sauce...tho it probably smells like fush!!

Hi righter,

That sounds like an interesting book. I've added your post into the Recommended Old Style books/magazine thread as it helps to keep them together.

Hiya,

Best cookbook I have ever come across (recommended by both my Nan and my Mum) is the 'Dairy Book of Home Cookery'. It's fab with tons of recipes in.

Hi yes I have one too bought it in the 1970's and its still going strong. The Dairy book of British Cookery is also brilliant published in the 1980's, worth looking for in charity shops/boot fairs.
I seem to remember some cookery books called 500 recipies for then the sub title. I have bought a few cookery books from the book sale at the library. Libraries aslo usually have excellent cookery book sections, if I am looking for a particular recipie I borrow the book then copy out the recipie into a note book, much cheaper thean buying a book for just a few recipies.

I've got the dairy book too.:D
Can recommend Bernadine Lawrence How to feed you family for £5.00 a day. Got mine from ebay.

I've got a bit of a cookery book addiction, even got Dorothy Hartleys' Food in England, in fact just had a gander at the bookshelf and have Annie's Edwardian Cookery Book which I've never read.

Plus in an eighteenth century kitchen, a Receipt (thats correct, I haven't mispelled recipe)Book of Cookery 1698.



Gawd, I'm going to have a look at them now.:D

Meals in a Moment by Maggie Broggan is a good book.
