Country Kitchen :: Online Workshop, Winter 2018
We are still deep into winter here, and our kitchen has been the healing retreat I’ve needed this season. Broth simmers, sourdough bubbles, herbal medicine that was put up in the summer is being strained and pressed, soap cures, and the pantry provides meal after nourishing meal. I do love th...
Looks like a good book. I would love to win it.
Eating Appalachia and a Book Giveaway
