Small Bites Radio Episode 195 – The Modern Pioneer Pantry – Mary Bryant Shrader

🎙️ New Episode Alert! Small Bites Radio – Mary’s Nest 🥣🌿

We had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mary Bryant Shrader of Mary’s Nest Cooking School (@MarysNest)—a true expert in preserving traditional cooking methods and nourishing recipes that have stood the test of time.

With over 1 million YouTube subscribers and 69 million views, Mary has become a beloved guide for home cooks who want to return to ancestral, old-world kitchen wisdom—from bone broth and cultured dairy to ferments and sourdough.

📚 And now she’s back with a brand-new cookbook:
The Modern Pioneer Pantry: A Complete Guide to Preserving Food
🗓️ Releasing August 19, 2025
📖 Published by DK Publishing

This follow-up to her bestselling first book, The Modern Pioneer Cookbook, dives deep into the art of food preservation—including:
🍅 Water-bath & pressure canning
🥒 Pickling & fermenting
🍓 Jam, jelly & preserve making
🌽 Freezing & dehydrating
🍑 Drying fruits, veggies, and more!

With 115+ recipes and Mary’s signature Four Corners Pantry method, this book teaches you how to fill your shelves with nutrient-rich, homemade staples that last, reduce waste, and stretch your grocery budget—all while embracing a slower, more intentional way of cooking.

🎧 In this inspiring episode, Mary shares:
✅ Why preserving food is more important (and easier!) than ever
✅ How traditional food practices can nourish your body and your wallet
✅ Her favorite preservation tips for beginners
✅ And a behind-the-scenes look at what went into this beautifully practical new book
