Basic every day recipes that anyone can do. I can’t wait to get started!

I have to say, this is hands-down one of the best cookbooks I’ve added to our homestead kitchen. What I really love about it is how Mel doesn’t just give you a single recipe — she shares a recipe and then offers variations to help you brainstorm different ways to make it your own.

It’s been such a helpful way for me to start thinking more creatively about what we’re growing here or picking up at the farmers market. Instead of feeling stuck following one exact recipe, I’m learning how to adapt, swap ingredients, and really stock our pantry with homemade basics that fit what’s in season.

It feels less like following rules and more like being taught how to build skills and confidence in the kitchen. If you’re wanting to cook more from scratch, stock up your pantry, and get better at using what you have, I really think you’ll love it as much as I do.

This is a great first step towards cooking from scratch and making more food at home instead of from a package. I wish there was more whole wheat in the bread options, less sugar in recipes and more honey or maple syrup but I’d call this a great first step into making your own food!

Wonderful book. Im looking forward baking!

I can't wait to try the recipes. This is exactly what I was looking for.

As someone used to baking with yeast, sourdough scared me. I am more than pleasantly surprised at how much background information she provides in addition to the recipes. Can't wait to get started!

I love this book! It has everything I was looking for to switch over to healthier options in my kitchen!

Love how these recipes are simple and straight forward. I'm eager to get my hands floored up and get started on the bread recipes the most. Thank you for creating this.

Really great cookbook to learn the basics!

Lots of simple everyday recipes not over complicated like some you find online. Excited to start making some of these regularly! 🤍

Love it all and such a beautiful book.

The quality of this book is top notch and the recipes are amazing! So glad I purchased, thank you!

I'm looking forward to trying to make a starter and watch it grow.

Thrilled to receive this book. Looking forward to trying some of your recipies.
