Another cooking gripe: A lot of the new recipes don’t use “prepared” versions of ingredients, like everything else. This makes them inconsistent with other recipes. Why rosehips and mushrooms and burdock, and not prepared rosehips, mushrooms, and burdock? Why is acorn bannock calling for acorn grounds instead of raw acorns?

For that matter, why aren’t we preparing carrots, potatoes, and such? The entire “preparation” dial when you start a new recipe should be separated into steps done ahead of time, when you don’t have to worry about your fire. The preparation for meat should be cooking it first.
