Forgotten Skills of Cooking: 700 Recipes Showing You Why the Time-Honoured Ways Are the Best

The new edition of Forgotten Skills of Cooking is an essential guide to traditional cookery skills, from making yogurt, butter and sourdough to keeping chickens and foraging for wild food

Based on the hugely popular courses at Darina Allen’s Ballymaloe Cookery School, this book reveals the lost art of making creamy butter and yoghurt, keeping a few hens in the garden, home-curing and smoking bacon, and even foraging for food in the wild.

So many of our happiest childhood memories are connected to food. Rediscover the flavors of all-time favorites such as traditional stuffed roast chicken, figgy toffee pudding, and freshly baked scones with strawberry jam. Darina also offers lots of thrifty tips for using up leftovers in delicious ways.

Essential reading for urban and rural dwellers alike, this is the definitive modern guide to traditional cookery skills.
