I couldn’t wait for summer to use our new Harsch Gartopf Crock pot and naturally ferment something. So we turned to what we could get locally and ended up with a 6-pound bowl of carrots: If you think they look a little suspect – I did cheat with the slicing blade of the food processor. [...]

Today’s post was delayed for good reason – we were waiting to get the release to share the following two secrets we’ve been hoarding (one of them for months) and the approval came after I went to work. I know I’m a geek but I can’t find the words to say how excited I am [...]
Ideas for Organizing Larger Group Preserving
Posted in General, Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting, tagged cooking, preserving, Slow Food on March 25, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It’s nice to have two consecutive posts inspired by discussions on the WellPreserved Facebook group. There’s been a lot of great back and forth there lately – discussions on which preservers people made too much of, not enough of or plan to make this year. There’s also been a lot of sharing about pressure canning, [...]

Maybe you shouldn’t. Then again, maybe you should. Yes, I am a Gemini – a very tired, punchy one at that. I’ll try to keep this post intelligible and somewhat comprehensible. We’ve been having a lot more conversations on Twitter and through our Facebook group lately. Part of that is due to a 2-week business [...]

5 batches of preserves – just over 10 liters of goodies for the winter are ready and waiting for the winter ahead – what a weekend!

In Farmers Fields…

I really enjoy my drive to and from work these days (minus the carbon impact) – I live downtown Toronto and work North of the city (it’s a 30 minute drive, including traffic). It occurred to me that many from the City (and those of you reading from further away), may be curious about how [...]

I adore learning stuff. That makes me a bit of an information whore. Any new knowledge will do – but if the topic is something I care about and am passionate for, I get really excited. I get really excited about food. When I hear a conversation about food, my head cocks sideways and I [...]
