At least one of your ancestors was probably a fantastic cook.This cookbook can help you learn the cooking secrets your ancestors had memorized. And as you practice the cooking skills they took for granted then you will gradually become a gourmet cook.This cookbook assumes you know very little, or maybe nothing, about how to prepare delicious food using basic ingredients, such as flour, baking soda, meat, vegetables, fruit, butter, eggs, herbs, and spices.The first 6 chapters contain the really important information you need to know so you can begin your gourmet cooking adventure.The next 26 chapters contain an impressive collection of more than 250 gourmet recipes that have very detailed instructions for each step in the food preparation process. The recipes do not assume that you already know how to cook, or that you know why some things should be done, or why other things should not be done. The recipes in this cookbook clearly explain the reasons why the instructions should be followed in order to produce a culinary miracle.In a very short time you can become a master chef. And after your family and friends taste some of your culinary miracles then they will beg you to share your recipes with them and to please, please, please teach them how to cook the way you do.The reason a gourmet cook is so successful is because he or she normally prepares meals that accomplish all of the following objectives at the same time: 1. The food has an enticing aroma.2. The food has a very desirable appearance.3. The food has a delightful pleasant taste.4. The food satisfies the person's hunger for at least a few hours.5. The food can be easily and quickly digested.6. The vitamins and nutrients in the food have been preserved and they can be easily absorbed into the body.7. The food facilitates the long-term health of the person who eats it.All gourmet cooks gradually modify their recipes as they gain experience and as they learn new things. The best way to become a great gourmet cook is to start with a great recipe. If you start with an average recipe, or with a good recipe, then it will take more of your time, and more of your money invested in ingredients, in order to gradually convert that recipe into something you can take pride in. There is nothing wrong with this approach if you have the patience, and the time, and the money to invest in gradually and slowing enhancing your cooking skills and your favorite recipes. On the other hand, if you start with a superior recipe, then you may discover that you like the recipe exactly the way it is. Or you may decide to gradually make small changes to the recipe to see if those changes impact the results in a favorable or unfavorable manner. By starting very close to your personal finish line, you will be able to arrive there quicker while spending less money.The recipes in this gourmet cookbook are superior recipes. However, no recipe anywhere in this cookbook will please everyone because different people have different taste preferences, and there is nothing unusual about that.Some of the recipes in this cookbook only require two or three ingredients. However, this cookbook also includes recipes that require ten or more ingredients. Some of the recipes are very simple and they can be completed in 5 minute or less. However, some of the recipes require several hours to complete.This cookbook includes recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are chapters on appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, main dishes, vegetables, desserts, and international cuisine. Each recipe chapter contains between 3 to 29 different recipes, or an average of about 9 recipes per chapter.In conclusion, this cookbook begins by carefully explaining "How to Become a Gourmet Cook," and then this cookbook provides more than 250 gourmet recipes for you to pick from so you can begin your gourmet cooking adventure.

This is the book that is mentioned on the "grandpappy.org" Hard Times Survival website.This book contains complete and detailed instructions on how to skin and butcher a wild animal. It also describes the process of creating delicious smoked meat that has a normal shelf life of approximately one year. The meat can be smoked over a normal fire but instructions and illustrations are also included on how to build a simple efficient smokehouse.You will then be guided through the entire hide tanning process, step by step. Next you will be shown how to take specific measurements at exact locations on the human body so you can create your own clothing patterns at home. You will then be shown how to combine your own homemade clothing patterns with your own tanned animal hides so that you can make your own high quality underwear, shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, ponchos, caps, and moccasins.This book also contains instructions on how to make ropes, whips, slings, and arrows. Also included are detailed instructions on how to make parchment, homemade ink, and a feather pen.In summary, this book will show you how to use almost every part of a wild game animal so that nothing of any real practical value is wasted.This book uses pictures and hand drawn sketches depending on which one best illustrates the concept being discussed. For example, a neatly drawn sketch of a sewing stitch is far superior to a picture of that same sewing stitch because the hand drawn sketch can show precise details that would not be clearly visible in a picture.If you are a hunter and you do not currently save and process the hides of the wild game animals that your family eats, then this book will clearly explain how to accomplish this task so that you can begin to strategically use a part of the animals that you have been throwing away.If you are currently experiencing hard times and you are eating a lot of wild game meat, then this book will explain how to convert the hides of those animals into soft smooth buckskins that can be used to make high quality clothing for your family that will last for many, many years.In my opinion, every one of the practical skills that are described in this book could be of timeless value to you and to your descendants.
