About the Author
When I was 21, I moved into what would become a long succession of off-the-grid 19th century dilapidated farm houses in rural southwest VA, complete with chickens, pigs, bunnies, bees, and a donkey. With a well bucket in one hand and a chainsaw in the other, I made myself a home-spun life. Inspired by those homesteader years, the women in my family, and my many elderly Appalachian farm women friends, I've spent a lifetime learning about old-timey cooking, home-making wisdom, and heirloom gardening and gathering. And that's what I'm sharing with you ... in my cookbooks, blog and cooking classes. For recipes and quirky vintage kitchen chat, visit my blog at www.logcabincooking.com.
