lovely little book is all about the natural methods of preserving. It covers root cellaring, drying, lacto fermentation, preserving in oil,
in vinegar in alcohol and in salt. Over 250 recipes.
Excellent.

Kombucha: Healthy Beverage and natural Remedy from the Far East
Gunther W. Frank
 Author
Günther W. Frank, born 1939 in Eger, Sudetenland, has written this book after long and intensive study of Kombucha. His advice rests
on his own experience and research as well as that of others, and includes a survey of the literature in both German and other languages from
the beginning of this century on. He refers to present day scientific research in the USSR where very thorough study, hitherto hardly heard
of in the
West, has been made of Kombucha.
The book gives useful background information, and deals with the pros and cons of various points of view about how to prepare and use this ancient
natural household remedy. It presents the fullest possible information and facts, without however forcing anything on the reader. On the basis of
this knowledge, the reader is enabled to come to an individual and independent evaluation of Kombucha.
