Book Synopsis Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening by : Peter Burke
Download or read book Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening written by Peter Burke and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low-Tech, No-Grow-Lights Approach to Abundant Harvest Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers good news: with nothing more than a cupboard and a windowsill, you can grow all the fresh salad greens you need for the winter months (or throughout the entire year) with no lights, no pumps, and no greenhouse. Longtime gardener Peter Burke was tired of the growing season ending with the first frost, but due to his busy work schedule and family life, didn't have the time or interest in high-input grow lights or greenhouses. Most techniques for growing what are commonly referred to as "microgreens" left him feeling overwhelmed and uninterested. There had to be a simpler way to grow greens for his family indoors. After some research and diligent experimenting, Burke discovered he was right--there was a way! And it was even easier than he ever could have hoped, and the greens more nutrient packed. He didn't even need a south-facing window, and he already had most of the needed supplies just sitting in his pantry. The result: healthy, homegrown salad greens at a fraction of the cost of buying them at the market. The secret: start them in the dark. Growing "Soil Sprouts"--Burke's own descriptive term for sprouted seeds grown in soil as opposed to in jars--employs a method that encourages a long stem without expansive roots, and provides delicious salad greens in just seven to ten days, way earlier than any other method, with much less work. Indeed, of all the ways to grow immature greens, this is the easiest and most productive technique. Forget about grow lights and heat lamps! This book is a revolutionary and inviting guide for both first-time and experienced gardeners in rural or urban environments. All you need is a windowsill or two. In fact, Burke has grown up to six pounds of greens per day using just the windowsills in his kitchen! Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers detailed step-by-step instructions to mastering this method (hint: it's impossible not to succeed, it's so easy!), tools and accessories to have on hand, seeds and greens varieties, soil and compost, trays and planters, shelving, harvest and storage, recipes, scaling up to serve local markets, and much more.
Download or read book Cooking Wild written by John Ash and published by Running Press Adult. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To eat wild foods, you needn't crawl through the forest or hunt your own game. Many wild foods are as close by as your local supermarket. But this doesn't mean that wild foods aren't worth the hunt. This book takes a big view of "wild," including recipes and information on both foraged, uncultivated foods as well as looking at the progeny of wild foods more conveniently found for sale alongside their conventional cousins. Americans are increasingly concerned about where their food comes from and how it's produced, packaged, and marketed. Heritage breeds, Paleo diets, farmers' markets, and environmental and climate concerns all point to increased interest in foods that are as natural, untreated, and healthy as they can be. Plants, seafood, meat, and poultry are all covered in more than 150 recipes, and will serve as a historical, agricultural education for your kitchen.

Download or read book Occidental written by Bob Dougherty and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occidental is a picturesque village in West Sonoma County nestled between the Salmon Creek and Dutch Bill Creek watersheds. William "Dutch Bill" Howard is considered the first permanent European settler in 1849, but he was not Dutch, and his name was not Bill--he was actually Danish and had assumed a new identity after deserting a ship to look for gold. Howard and another early settler, logging baron "Boss" Meeker, were instrumental in shaping early Occidental. The North Pacific Coast Railroad arrived in 1876, requiring construction of the country's tallest timber bridge. The railroad allowed much faster communication and transportation of people and goods, including redwood, charcoal, tanbark, and produce. Italians also started arriving in the 1870s, opening authentic Italian restaurants that have now served generations of families. In the 1970s, a culture clash occurred between ranchers and farmers with hippies and artists, but together they fought to maintain the beauty and character of Occidental.

Book Synopsis The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook by : Laura Kelly
Download or read book The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook written by Laura Kelly and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Calcium helps build strong bones, buts it's a myth that taking a daily calcium supplement will enable you to avoid potentially debilitating bone loss. Building bone requires a full complement of minerals and vitamins that too often are lacking in a woman's--or man's--diet in the quantity and combination required to prevent and treat osteoporosis. In this book, Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly provide scientifically sound guidance on how to monitor your nutrient intake and cook right for bone health to avoid deficiencies of the key players in bone metabolism--including calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K2--and, in many cases, to avoid the use of osteoporosis drugs. Follow their instructions for creating your own personal nutrition plan and enjoy delicious bone-healthy meals from a selection of more than 100 recipes ranging from sauces and small plates to soups, salads, main dishes, and more,"--page [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: "Fields of Plenty is the memoir of respected farmer, writer, and photographer Michael Ableman as he and his son travel from his own farm in British Columbia across the United States in search of innovative and passionate farmers who are making a difference in what we eat and how we experience food. From California to New York, this story captures the essence of each farmer's vision, the spirit of the land that they work, and the beauty and flavors of the foods that they lovingly produce. Ableman's odyssey takes him to a melon grower who is "militant about flavor," sheep-cheese producers who have built their own culturing caves, an urban farmer growing heirloom tomatoes for market on abandoned lots, and others who are trying to answer the complex questions of sustenance philosophically and, most important, practically." "Fields of Plenty is a hopeful memoir that reveals the larger issues of food in a modern world. Illustrated with Ableman's photographs and flavored with recipes that feature each farmer's bounty, Fields of Plenty is an intimate portrait of food and agriculture at a critical crossroads."--BOOK JACKET.
