Containing more than 1,000 recipes she collected and perfected over 25 years, it's an everything-and-then-some volume on the level of The Joy of Cooking--with a country slant. Next to recipes for classic casseroles, salads, and cookies are instructions for pasteurizing milk, cleaning fish, and plucking chickens. A section at the end also gives 'non-food recipes, ' such as how to make your own soap or houseplant fertilizer and tips for removing all kinds of stains. It's a bible for old-fashioned self-sufficiency." -- Jason Horn
