The Return of the Good Life
By Diana Mcmahon Collis of Mindbliss
The return of the Good Life - the Precycle concept Review of the Precycle! book authored by: Paul Peacock The author of Precycle! is a small holder and editor of monthly magazine “Home Farmer”. So, from this little paperback, you can learn about making sausages, curing bacon, making butter, brewing beer and making country wines. The meat section has guidance on producing ham and making pork pie and a decent, home-made pate. There are also sections on fish, dairy products and bakery goods, with some entries more anecdotal than full recipes, so don’t be expecting a fully fledged, step by step Delia Smith Cookery Course approach! However, you will find a lot of wisdom imparted in this handy little paperback. I think it’s not unfair to describe it as a veritable tardis, as there’s really a remarkable amount of wisdom, experience and insight packed into the 224 pages that make up Precycle! The section on cleaning products is really worthwhile, with lots of insight into how very simple the basis of most household cleaning agents really is. There is information on soap making and even lye making, although no obvious mention that you should have a licence if you want to deal with lye and make soap from home. I was slightly disappointed not to find a recipe for a descaling product and a lack of an index is a possible oversight. Nonetheless, this book is full of some wonderful gems and I think it’s worth reading it through a few times to be able to find them. RRP of this book is £7.95
