The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook Reviews
“the authors really know their craft”
“The amount of detail in this gem of a food preservation book shows…that the authors really know their craft. Things I never would have considered doing with my dehydrator or the foods I had dehydrated! There are 398 recipes included and I don’t mean just soups and stews. How about instant soup mixes, packets for dry rubs for flavoring meat and–wait for it–desserts.” (HomesteadDreamer.com 2014-09-22) “Far more than a simple cookbook, the authors preface the recipes with dozens of pages outlining the principles and benefits of dehydration. Fully half the book is dedicated to recipes on using your home-dehydrated foods actively as ingredients, rather than thinking of them as standalone foods. For example, a layered mélange of dehydrated vegetables in a jar makes a simple just-add-water soup that is not just handy, but makes a thoughtful gift. Smoothies can brim with the flavor of ripe summer fruit year-round.” (Sean Timberlake Punk Domestics.com 2014-09-29)“one of the most valued books in my library”
“This quickly became one of the most valued books in my library…I can point to numerous examples of things that I just did not know even after three years of dehydrating…You need this book first–BEFORE you start. And you need to pay special attention to the first three chapters–25 pages of easy, enjoyable, plain English reading with plenty of timesaving tips, troubleshooting sections, and references of other places to look in the book for related reading. Once you have done that, you can begin to use this book as your standard, go-to reference for specifics on dehydrating particular goods for particular purposes.” (Jo Rellimi Homestead Chronicles.com 2014-10-11)“wonderful recipe section”
“Whether you are an avid gardener or you bring your produce home from the grocery store, The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook will inspire and motivate you!…I was originally unenthusiastic about dehydrating because I’m a home canner. After reading this book, I was very surprised at the amount of nutrients that are lost when it comes to preserving food by freezing, canning and dehydrating. And you guessed it, dehydrating is the best option for preserving those nutrients! Not only will the book inspire you to dehydrate more, but the wonderful recipe section will have you dreaming up all kinds of meals and desserts for your family.” (The Survival Mom.com 2014-10-14) “I was intrigued by the part of the title that mentioned 398 recipes. That alone is a lot of recipes, but for dehydrating food that is huge! I mean how many things can you really dehydrate and/or make with dehydrated food? Apparently tons! Besides giving you a mega list of recipes, it teaches you how dehydration works. Whether you are a newbie to dehydrating or a seasoned vet, I guarantee that you will learn new, amazing and inspirational things that you will not find in any other book of this genre.” (Sharon Pannell The Trailer Park Homesteader blog 2014-11-05)“It’s really that good.”
“If you are serious about creating a PREPared kitchen, a dehydrator is a must-have tool for your kitchen, and The Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook belongs on your shelf. It’s really that good.” (Jane Baldwin momwithaprep.com 2014-11-12)“the only book on the subject you will ever need”
“From camping foods to holiday feasts, there is something for everyone…and from now on, this is the book I will be recommending. Those new to dehydrating will appreciate the alphabetical list of instructions for almost every fruit and veggie you can think of. Those who already have jars and jars of dehydrated food on the shelves will appreciate the HUNDREDS of recipes making use of them. This is truly the only book on the subject you will ever need.” (Lanette Lepper Mother Earth News.com 2014-10-02)About the Authors
