Bread, Butter, and Cooking From Scratch teaches the everyday foundations of a self-reliant homestead kitchen.
Readers learn how to bake reliable bread, maintain sourdough, churn butter, make yogurt and simple cheeses, render fats, prepare stock, cook from a pantry, stretch basic ingredients into satisfying meals, and store food safely.
Written for beginners, this book emphasizes practical methods, honest ratios, clear temperatures, and repeatable skills instead of complicated recipes. It is for anyone who wants better food, less waste, and a more capable kitchen.
