Description

Elizabeth Gilbert's great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter, wrote a cookbook that was far ahead of its time. In "At Home on the Range", Potter celebrates a devotion to epicurean adventures, deriding preservatives and culinary shortcuts in favour of farmer's markets and ethnic food. The book is a fascinating account of Potter's love of food, featuring car trips out to Pennsylvania Dutch country and the eastern shore of Maryland, where she learns to catch and prepare eels. This cookbook from the past remains relevant today, offering a unique perspective on the importance of fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods. A humorous and useful read, "At Home on the Range" is a must-have for anyone interested in food and cooking.
