Informationen zum Autor Author Paul Peacock has written over 30 books on gardening, self sufficiency, curing meats, making cheese and sausages, keeping bees and poultry. He writes for the Daily Mirror as Mr Digwell, the cartoon gardener - the longest running gardening newspaper column in the world. He has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time and appeared on numerous television shows. He runs the www.citycottage.co.uk website dedicated to the simple idea that the best food you will ever eat is cooked at home. Pauls passion for fish was kickstarted by a plate of fritto misto de mare, which remains his favourite dish (recipe in the book) and queenies cooked in cream topped with cheddar( recipe also in this book)! He believes the best fish in the world come from UK waters, that's why everyone buys it, far and wide, and, as Paul points out in this book, it is a tragedy the British hardly eat any of it. This book is hopefully a tiny step on the way to changing that. Klappentext How to store food the traditional way, and how to grow it so that it's ready for storage Zusammenfassung From clamping to dark room storage, drying to bottling, shelving to curing, discover how to keep as much of your crop as you want If you grow your own food you will be aware that the job's not done when the harvest is gathered in.
