Book Reviews

The Market Gardener - JM Fortier

This was a wonderful introduction  to intensive farming. Fortier shares years of wisdom gathered from honing his methods in Canada and even includes charts and diagrams. Check out Fortier's website for more information and course offerings.

 The Town the Food Saved - Ben Hewitt

Ever since reading this I've been dreaming of visiting Hardwick, Vermont.  The book may be a bit idealistic, but it seems like there's a great community in the town and surrounding area supporting a food revolution.  While this takes place in Vermont, I could easily imagine a similar situation in many Canadian towns I've visited.

Batch: Over 200 Recipes, Tips and Techniques for a Well Preserved Kitchen - Joel MacCharles & Dana Harrison

A great blog: wellpreserved.ca and a beautiful book I've only had the pleasure of glancing at.  The authors host Toronto-based events.  This book is next on my list to buy.

Wild Fermentation - Sandor Ellix Katz

Just recommended to me, I haven't had a chance to read it yet but it sounds incredible.  I will post a review once I've read it and tried some of the recipes.
