For your readers who may be interested in purchasing the book, while supporting a worthwhile cause, can find it as well as <I>Extending the Table</I>, <I>More with Less</I>, <I>Simply in Season</I>, and <I>Simply in Season Children's Version</I> at their nearest Ten Thousand Villages store.<BR/><BR/>As a project of the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), and as one of the oldest and largest nonprofit fair trade retailers, we strive to improve the livelihood of tens of thousands of disadvantaged artisans in 38 countries by establishing a sustainable market for handmade products in North America. <BR/> <BR/>As a nonprofit, we achieve this mission by building long term buying relationships in places where skilled artisan partners lack opportunities for stable income. Product sales help pay for food, education, healthcare and housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. <BR/><BR/>Our commitment to support artisans around the globe is strengthened through fair trade compensation practices including cash advances and prompt payments. <BR/><BR/>More than 60 years later, and as the company continues to grow, Ten Thousand Villages has become increasingly conscious of the need to marry the concept of fair trade with healthy and environmentally sustainable business practices.<BR/><BR/>Today, Ten Thousand Villages continues to carry out a conscious approach toward minimizing an environmental impact. From store operations to product selection to marketing practices, Ten Thousand Villages strives to meet the “triple bottom line” of economic, environmental and social sustainability.<BR/><BR/>Check out <I>www.tenthousandvillages.com</I> to locate a store near you, and to you and your readers, we wish you the happiest in the coming year!<BR/><BR/>~Ten Thousand Villages U.S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-53647487929818656842008-12-22T16:57:00.000-08:002008-12-22T16:57:00.000-08:00I'm reading The Tightwad Gazette, and the author m...I'm reading The Tightwad Gazette, and the author mentions this cookbook there also. What's that word for these kinds of coincidences? Like when you learn the definition of a word you've never heard before and then suddenly you hear the word everywhere?...Anyway, funny coincidence, and I'm going to have to check out this cookbook.Erin aka Conscious Shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02055472303320074413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-70234295754623758732008-12-22T11:17:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:17:00.000-08:00Rose- it will possibly conjure up memories of avac...Rose- it will possibly conjure up memories of avacado appliances and orange shag carpet, but the recipes are great!<BR/><BR/>My husband would love to tell you all a few stories of my complete incompetence as a cook when we first married. My mom was not an enthusiastic cook herself, and did not teach me. Nor were we vegetable gardeners. This book really turned it around for me.

Thank you for introducing it to a new generation of wannabe frugal cookers at a time we all really need it.

It features lots of global recipes but is still in the 'more with less' frame of mind.Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-36454091254099331742008-12-22T05:54:00.000-08:002008-12-22T05:54:00.000-08:00This sounds like a great cookbook, Joyce, and to t...This sounds like a great cookbook, Joyce, and to think it was published in the 70's! I learned frugal cooking from the best teacher in the world--my mother. Things did not go to waste in our household! I'm sorry to say I haven't always followed her teachings--convenience foods are just too easy when you're a busy working mom. Now that I have more time I find myself looking for ways to economize and to be less wasteful.<BR/><BR/>My mother gave me a cookbook a few years ago compiled by a German group she belongs to. The recipes weren't always that useful--blood sausage and head cheese, for example! But the stories that accompanied them were a wonderful insight into the lives of my grandparents and great-grandparents.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been reading too many blogs this past week--Christmas preparations taking up so much of time. I can't believe you didn't get out for your Sunday stroll yesterday:) <BR/><BR/>Stay warm, and have a wonderful Christmas, Joyce.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
