In our upcoming FOOD PREPS issue, we focus on northern cabin food preps that keep very well on pantry shelves and inside freezers!  From newbie pantry builders to hard core preppers , this dream reference guide for your favorite staple pantry/ freezer recipes, is straight from forest & farm dwellers' experience/ knowledge to help you get yourself & your loved ones through any deep winter or SHTF (hard times​) .

In this upcoming edition, we get the low down on the local foods/ recipes from an Italian mother 's childhood in San Nicandro, in the "heel of the boot", in Southern Italy (Puglia). The recipes, stories and dishes her Nonna made, shed interesting light on the region's ingredients, history, customs and way of life (p.s. mind blown!). We include old Italian cooking tips to make sure you are getting REAL-deal, authentic, Italian flavour when you make the truly traditional recipes in this issue.
