Cooking, Craftmanship
& Heritage Living
Learn traditional cooking,
food preservation and practical skills
passed down through generations.

Welcome to Boonie Hicks
Boonie Hicks is a journal of cooking, craftsmanship, and heritage living. A place to explore traditions, culture, and everyday skills passed down through generations-still shaping how we live, cook, and make things today.
In a fast-changing world, many traditional skills and customs are being forgotten. Boonie Hicks exists to help preseve this heritage by celebrating the knowledge, craftsmanship and the ways of life that have been handed down through generations.
Seasonal Note
