Lost Arts : A Cook's Guide to Making Vinegar, Curing Olives,
how to cure olives or make cheese, these are some of things I wish that my grandparents would have toughs me if they were alive. such things are a truly becoming a lost art in our fast paced society. however, thanks to this and other books we the novice cook/gardener will find this vary pleasing book to have and use.

Not what I had expected
I was slightly disappointed with this book. The title and description led me to think that it was going to be more of an instruction book. It actually turned out to be an overview of the history of each of the items listed with a smattering of recipes. There was a certain amount of instruction in the book but it buried in chatty discussions about 'the old world'...

There is a certain level of useful information and a brief list of resources ( about 15 businesses total). However this was written in 1995 and there are no websites listed, just mailing addresses and phone numbers, though most of the business are easy to find on the internet. I googled about half of them and they all seem to be in business still. A great read for foodies but if you're looking for a useful text on producing your own (vinegar, goat cheese, mustards, etc) this is not the title for you.
