Another competence you’ll need is cooking. Never did it in your life? Some recipes are easier than they sound. The easiest?

-Soup.

 You always eat them from a can? You can make them by cooking vegetables with hot water and broth, then put the vegetables in a mixer (or a food mill in case of a blackout).

-Mashed potatoes and fries

They can be done otherwise than from a bag or frozen. Mashed potatoes are first steam cooked, then mashed in a food mill. You can cut fries in potatoes, spray  them with oil, and roast them in a hot oven, without  a fryer.

-Pies and pizza

First you don’t have to buy the dough, flour, water and oil are all you need. And if you don’t have greaseproof paper, coat the baking tin with butter and flour.

-Pastas

The basis remains the same, only the sauce change, and there are tons of them. Puttanesca, bolognese, chicken Alfredo, carbonara, etc. Our vegan friends can try pesto, tomato-basilic, or oil and garlic.

-Cookies

They can be done without butter, olive oil can be used for them.

-Jams

Simply cook fruits with sugar. No sugar? Grape jam was done with grape must instead. It can be difficult to find, so, use grape juice instead. It contained any fruits or vegetables available in the season.

A bit more difficult:

-Bread

Bread was not indexed in stocks, because you can’t keep it for long, except crisp bread. The fresh version must be made. You’ll need bakery yeast, and trying to do it without a robot. In my case, it would not raise much.

-Brioche

Same: it must raise with yeast, but it does slowly. Yeast, by the way, is done with a bit of dough you let sour.

-Cinnamon rolls

Still that raising problem.

And much to my dismay…I still don’t know how to do these.

-Puff pastry

This kind of dough is long to do and master.

-Crumpets

I don’t see why, it’s very close to pancakes…and pancakes are easy.

-Carrot cake

I don’t see why either, it’s never as delicious as in Starbucks.

Butter, like bread, is not easy to make (unless you have fresh milk) nor to be stocked without a fridge. Clarified butter (melted, then solidified) was a possible long stocking method.

 Nearly all culinary preparations that involve butter can be done with oil otherwise, easier to stock. For spread use, lard was once used. It can be stocked outside a fridge.

Vegans won’t approve the use of lard, but making your vegetal butter with cashew nuts, water,  coconut and colza oil is possible.

Who say cooking say waste, and manage it. If dustmen can’t assure their duty, and you can’t find trash bags? Perishable rubbish can be composted as said earlier. 

You can use papers and cardboards as  fire starters. For everything else, like glass and porcelain, use a pit in your garden, then bury it. Do not put toxic waste in it, still.
