The Self-Reliant Kitchen: From-Scratch Recipes for the Heart of Your Homestead

Traditional skills, heritage recipes, and food preparation techniques from the generations before us.

Our food system has been plagued by shortages and overly processed options for far too long now and unfortunately that is all must of us know. Author Michelle Mullennix wants to show people that they can be more independent with their food, show them that they don’t have to rely on a grocery store for everything, and they can simply nourish their families with real food made the old-fashioned way. Through this simple guide of recipes and traditional cooking/homemaking skills she wants to teach others they can create a more self-reliant kitchen.

The Self-Reliant Kitchen will feature simple scratch made recipes with farm-to-table inspired ingredients, the staples for every homesteader’s kitchen, and teach traditional homemaking skills such as homemade butter, jams, the art of sourdough, and simple canning recipes. Learn how to replace manufactured, over processed store bought food items one recipe at a time.

Michelle Mullennix has been creating recipes as long as she can remember, but in more recent years she has focused on becoming more self-reliant in the kitchen. She lives on a homestead in Cave Creek, Arizona.
