I read this book before giving it to my brother for Christmas (is that pre-gifting?). It has practical tips for self reliance. Our parents raised us this way in the 70s before green was hip. We always had a garden, home made yogurt and granola and lived 'reuse, reduce, recycle' before it was a slogan. After the excesses of the subsequent decades this book helps bring us back to a more sustainable lifestyle; something that has become critical not optional.Edit your review | Add a comment | Share- No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likesThe Food of a Younger Land: A portrait of American food- before the national highway system, before chainrestaurants, and before frozen food, when the nation's food was seasonal,by Mark Kurlansky
In this book Mark Kurlansky compiles the writings of the New Deals WPA Federal Writer's Project. In the Depression this program employed writers around the country. It chronicles regional foods, recipes and cultures which were already beginning to disappear in the 1930s. Essays by writers such as Zorah Neale Hurston, Nelson Algren and Eudora Welty give us a literary, humorous and poetic look into our past, when almost all food was fresh, local and seasonal. Filled with traditional recipes and cultural gems, this book is an education and inspiration.
