And then come the recipes - fifteen chapters of them, telling how to prepare fruits, vegetables, meal substitutes, and main dishes. They cover multipurpose foods, salads, and soups. Few books provide so much useable information as concisely as Just Add Water. It deserves a place on every homemaker's bookshelf and belongs in every kitchen.

Great book! Good for cooking with home food storage items. Recipes, hints and facts. It's old (1972) but still good info. I got my copy to read through the library system and I want to my own copy now!

This review is from: Just Add Water How to Use Dehydrated Food and TVP (Paperback)

I thought this was a fairly good book. There is a little info about emergency preparedness, and then she gets into the differences between wet food storage (canned items) and dehydrated & freeze dried items. Then she proceeds to give a lot of recipes for dehydrated foods. It's basic, but good information to have. I purchased the book because she includes TVP recipes & easy recipes to make from food storage. These are the types of recipes one would want in an emergent type situation. My overall review is: Don't expect miracles or fancy frills from this book. It's old and contains good basic info, but that's about it. No frills. Period.
