The Forgotten Skills Cookbook

100 old-fashioned recipes, kitchen traditions and simple ways of cooking worth saving.

Some kitchen skills are too useful to be forgotten.

Before convenience foods filled every cupboard and every recipe had to be measured to the gram, home cooks knew how to make a little go a long way.

They knew how to turn stale bread into pudding, stretch a roast into tomorrow’s supper, simmer beans into a meal, preserve a garden harvest, bake bread without a mix, and put a warm dinner on the table from the simplest ingredients.

The Forgotten Skills Cookbook brings those practical traditions back into the modern kitchen with 100 comforting, old-fashioned recipes inspired by the resourceful way generations of home cooks prepared food.
