No frozen vegetables or tinned fruit - just fresh vegetables and fruit, herbs and spices. Oh, and don't forget, plenty of pasture fed eggs."I love the way you explain so many things and provide useful, down-to-earth information. Your book will have pride of place alongside Nourishing Traditions which I describe to my friends as my bible." Monique from Southland, NZ"Your book is fantastic. I find many of your recipes go into more detail than many other books and it is a big help, especially if a person is starting from scratch." Ellen Schenck
