Excellent Reference,
By
This review is from: How to Dry Foods (Paperback)
This is a fantastic reference for drying food.The author takes the time to explain in detail the different methods of preparing food for dehydrating food. She discusses sulfiting, steaming, no prep. etc. The author also explains the various methods of drying food (oven, dehydrator etc.) The pictures only enhance the text. Further more, the author provides several charts (one for fruit, one for vegies, one for meat, one for herbs) regarding how well certain foods dry, how long each food will save when dried. I particularly liked the recipes that used dried foods. This is a great book to have if you are interested in drying foods. I constantly refer to this book every time I dry the extra food we have on hand.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but disappointing,
By MyrtleZ (Takoma Park, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Dry Foods (Mass Market Paperback)
So far this book is very thorough in how to dry just about everything and there are some fun recipes but I'm disappointed, too. One of the main reasons that I'm trying to dry my own fruit is that most commercial dried fruit is treated with sulfer dioxide and I am highly allergic to sulfa. (Hives, trouble breathing,...very bad.) This book's answer to pretreating just about every fruit and fruit leather is to sulfer it. I'm sure that makes it better but aren't there other options?

The only dehydrator book that you'll need!!!,
By BakersDozen (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Dry Foods (Paperback)
If you are only going to buy one book--this is the one!! It covers everything, yet is not complicated or overwhelming. It's directions are very clear and has lots of wonderful pictures. I can't think of anything that it doesn't cover. It also has a nice section of recipes to use all those wonderful foods that you've dried. A definite winner.
