Do It Yourself

Chef Bill Collins shows you how to make your own vinegars, including wine, apple cider, malt, white, and rice vinegars, and then flavour them with herbs for exactly the taste you want. He also offers recipes for cooking with your custom-made vinegars, creating everything from a basic Italian salad dressing to Asian cole slaw, sweet potato salad, Mediterranean orzo, pot stickers, lentil soup, caponata, sauerbraten, caprese sliders, pickles and chutneys, and even chocolate chip cookies. As well there are some non-cooking uses for vinegar around the home, with a handy metric conversion chart included. This book is one of the Storey Basics series, Books for Self-Reliance.
