You throw food out every week.
It is not your fault. Nobody ever showed you how to make it keep.
- The loaf goes hard by Thursday, and the heels go in the bin.
- Half the bag of salad, every single time.
- You buy a chicken, you eat a third of it, the rest turns.
- The freezer is full and you have no idea what is in there.
- The date on the packet says today, and you cannot tell if it is still fine.
90 Ways My Grandmother Made Food Last
She had an answer for every one of them. Everything she taught me, written down at last.
- Bread, kept soft to the end of the week, and what the heels were for.
- Salad and greens, what she did with them the day they came in.
- The rest of the chicken, and how far she made it go.
- The freezer, packed so you can see it, with the log to keep track.
- Telling what is still good by looking at it, the way she did.
- And 85 more, one page each, across the nine sections.
The ebook is in nine sections. Here is what is in each one.
The nine sections
- Jars and canning. What can safely go in a jar, what cannot, and how long it keeps.
- The freezer. What freezes well, what does not, and how to pack it so you actually use it.
- Drying. Herbs, fruit and the things that keep a year in a paper bag.
- Salt and curing. The old way with meat and fish, and what is still safe to do at home.
- Fat and butter. Drippings, potting, and keeping butter without it turning.
- Sugar and vinegar. Jam, pickles, and the sweet and sour things that keep themselves.
- The pantry and the cold room. What belongs in a cool cupboard and never in the fridge.
- Wrapping and storing. Cloth, tin and paper, and when plastic is the thing spoiling it.
- Knowing when it has turned. Telling by looking and smelling, instead of by the date.
