This quietly revolutionary guidebook picks up where the best-selling Process Self-Reliance Series’ The Urban Homestead left off and brings us into the kitchen, where the daily choices we make involving food have a profound impact both on our lives and the world at large.
Deborah Eden Tull draws upon seven years of experience as a monk, organic farmer, and chef to introduce simple but life-changing ways for urbanites to adopt a more mindful relationship with food, including shopping, menu planning, cooking, growing and preserving food, and maintaining the kitchen.
Beautifully illustrated, practical, and fun, this book is filled with anecdotes and step-by-step instructions to inspire neophytes and experienced homesteaders alike.
The Natural Kitchen’s introspective and educational journey will inspire action and change forever the way readers relate to food, the environment, and their daily lives.
