FRUGAVORE: How to Grow Organic, Buy Local, Waste Nothing, and Eat Well


“I started writing this book after I found myself trying to juggle two seemingly opposing things,” says Forge. “I wanted to provide good, nutritious food for myself and my family, while also watching my dollars when I went to the supermarket.” With the help of Forge’s bubbly, conversational writing and clear, encouraging instructions, readers will discover how to access quality produce straight from the source, forgotten cooking and preserving techniques of old-world peasants for delicious, money-saving treats, how to stock your pantry wisely to stretch your dollar and satisfy your family, how to shop for and cook with the most economical cuts of meat and fish, and much more!

Packed with resources, tips, tricks, and over 100 recipes for delicious dishes—like heirloom roast vegetables, chicken and leek pie, minty lemonade, pumpkin soup, and home-cured bacon—Frugavore is a refreshing guide to living and eating well. Before you know it you'll be enjoying delicious, sustainable meals—and feeling healthier, happier, and even a little richer for it.
