Whether you are an avid DIYer, want to try your
hand at a little gardening, want to cook food from whole ingredients, or
consider yourself to be a modern pioneer, this book is a fun and helpful read.
Now, Modern Pioneering by GeorgiaPellegrini isn’t a normal book. Modern
Pioneering is more like a guide and cook book all in one. It is composed of
various sections that cover the different areas. All the while, with lovely
photographs throughout the whole book.
The first section is on The Garden. I found this
part of the book to be full of lots of helpful tips and information. Thank
goodness for that information on mulching, it has saved me a top of work in the
garden already this summer. There was plenty of information that I will
probably refer back to for years to come.
Next is the section on The Home. This section is
mostly comprised of recipes. All of the recipes have clear instructions that
are easy to follow. Now there are several recipes I plan to try. There are also
several recipes that I’m pretty sure I would never try. Not they are bad
recipes, just not something that I would eat. All the recipes use fresh ingredients
that you would gather from your garden, get from a farmers market, or from your
local store. There aren’t any processed foods in these recipes.
The following section is The Wild. This contains
information on vegetation that you can eat from the wild. There are also recipes
for using those foods. This section also contains useful information on such
things like how to use a compass, survive in the wild, and such.
Lastly is The Rest. There are some recipes in
here. There are some DIY projects. There is some random stuff. Honestly, most
of the stuff in this section could have been left out and the book wouldn’t be
lacking. The home DIY crafty stuff seemed a bit out of place with the rest of
the book.
Overall, it was a fun read that gave me some good
information and good ideas of stuff to try. I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for
this review.
