A Practical Guide to Post-Collapse Recipes Using Foraged, Homestead, or Long-Term Storage Ingredients

In a world turned upside down, food becomes more than just nourishment—it’s comfort, tradition, and survival. The Callahan Family Cookbook brings together generations of hearty, practical recipes from the beloved family at the heart of Kelly Schweiger’s Last Light series.

Drawing from their remote mountain lodge kitchen, the Callahans share the meals that kept them strong—whether in times of hardship or celebration. Inside, you’ll find:

• Rustic, survival-friendly recipes using pantry staples, preserved goods, and foraged foods.
• Family favorites and comfort meals that warm both the body and the spirit.
• Practical tips for cooking off-grid, stretching ingredients, and making the most of what you have.
• Seasonal and foraged inspirations straight from the Adirondack wilderness.

More than a cookbook, this is a collection of stories, memories, and wisdom passed down through generations. Each recipe carries a taste of resilience and a reminder that even in the darkest times, a shared meal can bring light.
