We lived for a year and a half, not online off-grid but off the map in a third world country. I cooked on a clay stove and had never even started a fire before that. Cooking the same foods day in and day out was depressing. I finally got a little creative, out of necessity, with the foods growing around our one room house. But it wasn't enough. I'm interested to see what Kate Downham has to say in this book. I wish I had it before going through the crucible.
