The Old Hippie's Cookbook
Welcome!
Times are hard, money is scarce. A lot of people are struggling. Hippie cooking
is even more important now than it was back in the day. Then we were young and
poor learning to fend for ourselves. Now we are many, many people just trying
to make ends meet and feeding our families.
Hippie cooking is all about improvisation.
It’s about using what you have on hand and knowing how to best put it together.
It’s about ALWAYS having some basic items, so if your friends show up
unexpectedly with Maui Wowie or Thai weed, you’ll be
able to feed them well when you all get the munchies. (Definitely check out the
chocolate chip cookie recipe!)
So as soon as I can put the pages together,
you will find the list of necessary pantry items for both food and equipment.
(Hint: NEVER be without onions and garlic. And please don’t use aluminum pots
for cooking. Stainless steel, enameled, cast iron are all
good.) And remember, if it was around a hundred years ago, it’s probably
safe to have in your kitchen. Milk, flour, sugar, butter, eggs, rice, pasta…But these days you can’t be too careful, so if you can, buy
organic. Also buy locally produced veggies through a CSA (community-supported
agriculture) farm or co-op.
My favorite cookbook is Fannie Farmer. You
can’t go wrong and the recipes are pretty simple
I’m still ferreting out the recipes,
anecdotes, and other bits of information to help make preparing food for your
family and friends easy, fast, cheap and delicious.
Here are some recipes to start with. Come
back for more!
peace
