Why I Wrote The Modern Pioneer Pantry
This book is the second in my Modern Pioneer Cookbook Series, and it’s near and dear to my heart. After years of hearing from you that you wanted to learn how to safely preserve food at home—and then actually use what you preserved to make nutritious and delicious meals—I knew this was the book I needed to write.
Just like my first bestselling book, The Modern Pioneer Cookbook, my second cookbook, The Modern Pioneer Pantry, is packed with helpful information yet remains approachable. It’s a practical, everyday guide that helps you build your traditional foods kitchen one jar, one batch, and one beautiful homecooked meal at a time.
What You’ll Find Inside the Modern Pioneer Pantry
Each chapter of this book builds on the last, but you don’t have to read it cover to cover. Feel free to skip around based on what preservation method you’re most excited to learn! You have eight chapters and over 115 recipes to learn everything you need to know about home food preservation.
📝 Here is what each chapter covers:
- 🏡 Chapter One: The Four Corners Pantry
- 🍅 Chapter Two: All About Home Canning
- 🫙 Chapter Three: All About Water Bath Canning
- 🫙 Chapter Four: All About Pressure Canning
- 🌿 Chapter 5: All About Drying and Dehydrating
- 🧅 Chapter 6: All About Fermentation
- ❄️ Chapter 7: All About Frozen Food Preservation
- 🥒 Chapter 8: All About Pickling
And if the term Four Corners Pantry is new to you, don’t worry. I cover it completely in Chapter One. And best of all—as you work your way through The Modern Pioneer Pantry, you’ll learn how to preserve foods to stock all Four Corners!
