WHEN BLOGGER JENNIFER REESE LOST HER JOB, SHE BEGAN A SERIES OF
FOOD-RELATED EXPERIMENTS. Economizing by making her own peanut
butter, pita bread, and yogurt, she found that "doing it yourself"
doesn't always cost less or taste better. In fact, she found that
the joys of making some foods from scratch-- marshmallows, hot dog
buns, and hummus--can be augmented by buying certain ready-made
foods--butter, ketchup, and hamburger buns. Tired? Buy your
mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it.
With Reese's fresh voice and delightful humor, "Make the Bread, Buy
the Butter "has 120 recipes with eminently practical yet
deliciously fun "make or buy" recommendations. Her tales include
living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks,
and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting
pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here's the full
picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life and how to get
the most out of your time in the kitchen--with the good news that
you shouldn't try to make everything yourself.
