The Encyclopedia of Country Living Review

Carla Emery was a national treasure and this book ensures her legacy. This is simply the most informative book ever written on country living, the next best thing to having a live-in grandmother who knows everything there is to getting homegrown foodfrom dreams to dinner plates plus nearly anything else you need to know.Begun as a 12-page table of contents for a recipe book in 1969, the presentninth edition has 858 pages of far more than recipes. Veggies, vines,trees, grains, poultry, goats, cows, bees, rabbits, sheep, pigs. Planning,nurturing, harvesting, preserving, preparing. Flipping pages at randomfinds starting transplants, breads leavened with eggs and beating, speedingup tomato sauce-making, harvesting herbs, making cider, managing anexisting stand of trees, root cellar storage, soap making, brooding chicks,secrets to safe cattle handling, cultured buttermilk, cooking on a woodstove, jams and jellies, making a wool quilt. I use my "Carlabook" constantly. If your budget or bookshelf has room for only onebook, this is the book to buy. Yes, even before you buy mine.
