For centuries the storecupboard was the most important feature in
every European castle, house or hovel. Its contents were jealously
guarded and fiercely protected because they represented survival.
In Preserving, Potting and Pickling Elisabeth Luard chooses the
best of these larder-store treasures to give recipes for pickles to
jams, bottled sauces to potted and dried meats, and directions for
drying and storing vegetables, pulses, herbs and funghi. She goes
on to present whole meals built around convenience foods such as
Portable Soup (the original soup-cube) and the two ketchups -
mushroom and tomato - which have provided the secret ingredient for
so many of our ancestors delicious dishes. There are recipes for
storable treats like French pain d'epices (better a month or two in
the cupboard) and sweets such as the lovely honey-and-almond turron
of Moorish Spain and the marzipan specialities of southern France.
Finally the book offers a section on natural home remedies from
soothing syrups to herbal teas. Very much a companion volume to her
highly acclaimed European Peasant Cookery this treasure trove is
illustrated throughout with the author's own delightful drawings
and paintings. Proving once and for all that fast food need not be
junk food, Elisabeth Luard will once again enchant her world-wide
audience with her enthusiastic celebration of good food and good
husbandry. This is a timely and practical tribute to the wisdom of
the past.
