It began in 1970, Carla Emery says, when she ”...put together a table of contents-- pretty much the one you see in this book-- listing everything I thought ‘back to the earthers’ would need to know (whether I myself knew it or not). I thought a little and decided I could write it in about two or at the most three months.” Four years, two children, a bigger farm, and many thoughts later, she had printed some 600 pages on the Living Room Mimeographer and fastened them together with snap rings. Thus emerged the Old Fashioned Recipe Book. In it, Carla pretty much covers the essentials of homesteading, housewifery (and husbandry). Out of her experience she selects the practical and simple methods, leaves the science to the universities and the refinements to the idle. There’s plenty to learn about living off your land before the esoteric details can be more enlightening than confusing. Carla begins at the beginning and sticks to the basics. Here & there she digresses into family anecdotes, mostly contemporary.
Yet in Old Fashioned, as in the kind of life it defines, lurks no nostalgia about the good old days. These recipes are for now for using what you have, and getting on with it. When the jelly doesn’t set up you have pancake syrup. Count your blessings.
