Carla Emery-Encyclopedia of Country Living
In getting in the sprit of constructive knowledge.....
I want to bring up a valuable resource that I have read and used for many years.....Need a new one as mine is pretty beat, and has been a "go to" for a long time.
Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living
Cook book, manual , and general how to do it from recipes to baking to pickling to leather tanning.....and can be had for about 20 bucks.
Her story in it self is interesting,..... as she need money, so started selling her "cook book", before it was written.....sending subscribers a chapter at a time.
Selling these herself, at farmers markets, fairs, and such.....traveling around.
I later years, she would book a "party, you could invite her to come and stay at your place, then she would have a book selling session with one on one Q&A.
