When Jennifer Reese lost her job, she was overcome by an impulse common among the recently unemployed: to economize by doing for herself what she had previously paid for. She had never before considered making her own peanut butter and pita bread, let alone curing her own prosciutto or raising turkeys. And though it sounded logical that “doing it yourself” would cost less, she had her doubts. So Reese began a series of kitchen-related experiments, taking into account the competing demands of everyday contemporary American family life as she answers some timely questions: When is homemade better? Cheaper? Are backyard eggs a more ethical choice than store-bought? Will grinding and stuffing your own sausage ruin your week? Is it possible to make an edible maraschino cherry? Some of Reese’s discoveries will surprise you: Although you should make your hot dog buns, guacamole, and yogurt, you should probably buy your hamburger buns, potato chips, and rice pudding. Tired? Buy your mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it.   With its fresh voice and delightful humor, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter gives 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun “Make or buy” recommendations. Reese is relentlessly entertaining as she relates her food and animal husbandry adventures, which amuse and perplex as well as nourish and sustain her family. Her tales include living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks, and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here’s the full picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life—with the good news that you shouldn’t try to make everything yourself—and how to get the most out of your time in the kitchen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49520707272977,"sku":"GOR004016773","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49530811384081,"sku":"CIN1451605870A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49726294688017,"sku":"CIN1451605870G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095370764561,"sku":"CIN1451605870VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1451605870.jpg?v=1751148070"},{"product_id":"make-the-bread-buy-the-butter-book-jennifer-reese-9781451605884","title":"Make the Bread, Buy the Butter","description":"\u003cb\u003eSelected by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e as a Notable Cookbook, by \u003ci\u003eUSA TODAY\u003c\/i\u003e as a Best Holiday Gift For the Foodie, and by More.com as one of their Best Cookbooks of the Year.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThis unique combination of recipes, memoir, and advice is \"pure entertainment in an original, fresh voice\" (Mollie Katzen, author of \u003ci\u003eMoosewood Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When blogger Jennifer Reese lost her job, she began a series of food-related experiments.
