Acerca de esta escucha
Meet Sarah Jane, a woman with a reputation for culinary catastrophe, who tries to keep her family fed in challenging circumstances in rural France. Frugal living was not part of the plan when they arrived from Australia to undertake the renovation of a quaint cottage in the Charente. However, when life threw them a curveball, the challenge was set: How to survive in France with very little money and two Australian cattle dogs.
The answer came in the form of five chickens, four ducks and a vegetable garden! The frugal plan was to save money by any means possible - to enable any money they could earn to be invested into continuing the renovation of the cottage. In true "good life" style, Sarah Jane attacks this challenge head on by keeping some small livestock and converting a garden that resembled a meadow into a French "potager," or kitchen garden. The French tradition of using produce from their "potagers" is renowned for enabling families to create meals that are healthy, cost effective, and simple.
There are 31 recipes for a variety of food and drinks included in a month-by month-account of how they transformed a neglected garden into a frugal yet productive expat kitchen garden.

Historia
Dinner time doesn’t have to be a constant struggle nor do they have to be mac n’ cheese and chicken nuggets every night. A child’s palette may not be as developed as an adult’s, but with a little work, you can get them to eat “grown-up” food. The book will help guide you through the best way to get your kids on the right track with food.

Do you ever look at a plant out in the wild and wonder if it is safe to eat? Would you like to do anything other than trawl the mall once again this weekend? Maybe it’s time to learn a new skill–one that is not only interesting and useful but also immensely satisfying. Foraging meets a deep-seated need that we all have to hunt, explore, and gather.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”. We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside, we’re strong and fiery. Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken.

Kitty Tait grew up a funny, chatty redhead who made everyone in her family laugh. But around the time she turned 14, Kitty began experiencing anxiety. Slowly, she disconnected from everyone around her and struggled to wake up, get dressed and leave the house. Full of worry, her parents tried everything, from new hobbies like reading and painting to medication and visits to a specialist. Nothing seemed to help. Then, one day, as Kitty stood on a stool watching her dad mix flour, water and salt, she determined Al’s gloopy, sludgy blob of bread looked a whole lot like her brain.
