Garden and pantry is a special book of 220 degrees slantwise, as it begins where life sprouts: in the garden.
The special book 220 degrees slantwise
This time before you is a slightly different book of 220 degrees slantwise. It is divided into two parts, and there are two authors as well. Although not mentioned among the authors, an important part was also contributed by Urška’s father, who does most of the work in the Fartelj family garden. The book is written simply and clearly – so that everyone gains joy from gardening, cooking, and preserving the fragrant fruits of nature.
To a rich harvest and delicious winter stores
In the first part of the book, experienced gardener Mateja shows us with many simple and effective tips how to grow your own vegetables, herbs, and fruit – from seeds to a rich harvest. When the time comes for gathering, we move to the pantry. We learn how to preserve by pickling, drying, canning, fermenting, and creating supplies that will delight us long after the last tomato leaves the bed.
It is good to share well
Urška’s first book 220 degrees slantwise immediately became a bestseller not only in her native Prekmurje but was loved throughout Slovenia. Her next three books followed the same path. Urška says the secret of the popularity of her recipes is that they all succeed. The recipes in this book come from Urška’s family tradition and friendly conversations – each jar tells its own story. This is not just a manual for the garden and winter stores, but a love letter to nature, the seasons, memories, and those closest to us. It is good to share well.
“This book is for me. In memory and reminder of all that can be hidden in a jar of tomato sauce, adorned with a label in mother’s handwriting: 2018. Her last year. Or the trembling father’s handwriting on the plum jam: grandpa. Two jars full of warm, sweet stories, made for us. Excellent sauce and jam for you.” – Your Urška
