KerryAnn Foster of Cooking Traditional Foods, has experienced first hand the pros and cons of having to feed her family totally from a food storage while not sacrificing the types of food her family prefers or requires (due to allergies). During Kerry’s husband’s 11-month period of unemployment, the Foster family was able to place their limited financial resources elsewhere, while maintaining the Real Food diet they needed, and without using food stamps or food banks or going hungry.
Written from personal knowledge and day-t0-day living it, the book Real Food Storage takes the reader through setting up a Real Food pantry and how that differs from using foods that cause or exacerbate illness. KerryAnn provides excellent and detailed information on what foods to choose, how to purchase, how much to store for each person, how to store, rotate and organize the foods and over 200 recipes on how to use them in real family recipes.
Real Food Storage recipes are wholesome, family meals that embrace the traditional foods, preservation and preparation methods and produce great-tasting, health-supporting real foods. Because KerryAnn is a celiac and needs to be gluten-free and her children have several foods allergies, the recipes in this book have allergy options and substitution information, which is helpful for all diet needs.

This book is one to have on the bookshelf, on the computer and always at hand. I highly recommend Real Food Storage by KerryAnn Foster in either e-book form, in paperback, or both.
