Jill Winger – författare

Jill Winger, creator of the award-winning blog The Prairie Homestead and author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook returns with The Old-Fashioned on Purpose Cookbook, featuring over 100 new recipes, guides, tips, and tricks from the homesteading tradition. As a young newlywed, Jill Winger asked herself a simple question: "Why do we have to live like everyone else?" Determined to find the answer, she and her husband impulse-bought a neglected farmstead in Wyoming, where they learned to make compost, build and tend gardens, and raise livestock. It was hard work, but along the way, they noticed that slowing down, working with intention, and reconnecting to the natural world was changing their lives in more ways than they had anticipated. "The fresh bread and colorful eggs hook us," she's said, "but the deep sense of meaning keeps us coming back for more."In the decade since, Jill has helped thousands of families learn how to grow their own food, ditch the grocery store, and live the Old-Fashioned, On Purpose lifestyle through her popular blog, The Prairie Homestead and her beloved cookbook, The Prairie Homestead Cookbook. Now, she returns with The Old-Fashioned on Purpose Cookbook-a collection of over one hundred new recipes, guides, and tips to bring the homesteading experience into your kitchen and your life. Inside, you'll find classic American comfort food and updated crowd pleasers for every meal, from "No Fuss Granola" and "From Scratch Breakfast Sandwiches" to homestyle chicken pot pie, Jill's fool-proof sheet pan dinner formula, old-fashioned ice cream soda, and chocolate cobbler, and money-saving, life-changing instructions for milling your own flour, stocking your pantry, and quick-pickling any vegetable under the sun-and more!
