Terre Vivante, located in south-central France, like the Real Goods Solar Living Center, is a place where people have tried to "get it right, " to demonstrate that food can be grown without toxic chemicals, disruptive machinery, and waste. This book, the collective effort of more than 150 organic gardeners working across France and in various corners of Europe, celebrates recipes for storing fruits and vegetables in a form as near as possible to fresh, including:
-- Solar and air drying
-- Lacto-fermentation in crockery or jars, as in sauerkraut
-- Storing produce a root or pantry in cellar, attic,
-- Preserving produce in its own juices, or in oil, vinegar, salt, or sugar
-- Preserving in wine
