| LIVING WILD; gardening, cooking and healing with native plants of the Sierra Nevada, Alicia Funk and Karin Kaufman. |
I went to
Auburn to do some errands today and decided to take some time to check out a
local bookstore I wanted to check out for a while now.
I was
happily surprised to see a high quality bookstore, in the sense that it had a
lot of specialized books I didn´t expect to see. They had lots of not very
common horse training books, both old and new. Also they had a nice selection of
local history from Gold Country. I bought a few books there and one of them was
a beautiful book about how to use everything that grows wild in this part of California,
LIVING WILD; gardening, cooking and
healing with native plants of the Sierra Nevada, by Alicia Funk and Karin
Kaufman. It´s a rather new book, published last year. The book is beautiful
with amazing pictures and an appealing layout. The recipes seem to be pretty
easy to follow. Almost all the trees, flowers and plants are growing wild here
at the ranch. There are many recipes I´m definitely going to try, such as Manzanita
Cider, Wild granola, Gooseberry jam, Elderberry bread, Oak nut bread, Madrone
berries with rice and veggies and many more. I´m very excited about trying
these recipes. I love using what nature provides us with. I´ve been thinking
about writing something like this myself but I don´t think I could have done it
better than this. A practical approach to sustainability.
