  A well-stocked larder contains all those homemade essentials which do not need a refrigerator, such as cheese, pies, sausages, condiments, breads, jams and preserves. David Mabey aims to show how simple it is to make provisions like these - the cornerstones of British cookery - whether or not you have a real larder to put them in. Why settle for dull, pasty, factory-made sausages with commercial tartrazine-coloured mustard when they can be made at home with your own course-grained condiment? This book offers over 100 recipes for breads, soft cheeses and dairy foods, bacon and cured meats, sausages, potted dishes, pies, pasties, smoked fish, condiments, jams, jellies, marmalades and ciders. It also provides an explanation of how and where these foods were first made and what place they have had in the kitchens of the past.
