A unique cookbook that includes complete instructions on how to
plan and build a root cellar -- no matter where you live (condo,
townhouse, or even warm climates). Once you've nailed the storage,
you'll find delicious recipes to use up your stored bounty.-- "The
Test Kitchen Inc." (12/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
Whether you grow your own vegetables, buy shares in a local CSA or
have a neighbour with an emerald green thumb, preserving the
harvest over the winter can be a challenge. If you don't own so
much as a single Mason jar, cold storage can be the answer, and The
Complete Root Cellar Book: Building Plans, Uses and 100 Recipes by
Steve Maxwell and Jennifer MacKenzie provides everything you need
but the lumber. Homeowners, townhouse renters and even apartment
dwellers can find a plan to suit their living space. And it doesn't
end with the final nail. By the time you put down the hammer,
you'll know everything you need about root storage, pest control
and even have the essentials on keeping your wine collection happy.
To ensure you enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labour,
MacKenzie, a veteran recipe developer, provides 100 tempting soup,
main, dessert and condiment recipes. What makes this book unique:
The sheer range of designs and storage ingenuity is impressive.
Detailed plans range from a complete do-it-yourself, walk-in root
cellar to a less ambitious tune-up of an existing cold room. Got a
yard but no basement? Try an old-fashioned root clamp or outdoor
cellar pit. For apartment and condo dwellers plans include ways to
convert a second refrigerator.--Charmian Christie "Canadian
Gardening Magazine" (10/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
