Description

The Homemade Household: Foundations

Volume I — A Practical Guide to Making, Cooking, and Living Well at Home

Cooking isn’t just about following recipes. It’s about understanding what you’re working with.

The Homemade Household: Foundations is the first volume in a ten-volume series devoted to rebuilding the practical household knowledge that once passed naturally from one generation to the next.

Before recipes come ingredients. Before technique comes understanding. And before confidence comes the willingness to pay attention.

Drawing on decades of experience in home kitchens, restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, meat departments, institutional kitchens, and food service, Trent Goodbaudy begins with the fundamentals: how capable cooks learn to think.

Explore the everyday ingredients upon which a working kitchen is built—flour, eggs, salt, butter, milk, potatoes, onions, garlic, grains, beans, herbs, spices, stocks, vinegar, citrus, and more—while learning how quality, organization, preparation, stewardship, and observation affect everything you make.

This is the paperback edition, made for readers who want a practical reference they can keep in their kitchens, return to, and learn from for years to come.
