I loved this book. It was the most informative book on food storage that I have ever read. I loved the chapter on cooking with Dutch Ovens. It has a lot of great recipes for dry goods that you would already have on hand. I loved the bug in bug out section. It tells you exactly what you should have for emergencies. I would recommend this book to everyone that wants to prep for any coming disasters that wants to survive when it happens. Thumbs up.
There is a lot of good basic information on preparedness in the first half of the book. But I didn't want basic emergency preparedness, I wanted a COOKBOOK with recipes to help utilize the foods that are on most "prepper" long term storage inventories. Only half the book has recipes. AND I was rather disappointed in the recipes. When I am told I am going to get tasty "Food Storage Recipes" in a book about preparing for emergencies that would force us to use our stored foods and likely not have electricity, etc. -- I would expect to see a lot less perishable items in the recipes. Many of them call for eggs, milk (some use nonfat milk powder), sour cream, shredded cheese, butter, corn tortillas, and other NON shelf-stable items. And the recipes aren't set up for you to recreate the "fresh" versions from powders. There are recipes that require making a roux from butter and milk. Powdered butter doesn't melt, and you can't make a roux from it.
Many of the recipes are, well, nasty.
"Cheddar Beef Soup
2 pint size jars of canned beef 1-11 ounce can cheddar cheese soup 1-11 ounce can cream of mushroom soup 1-11 ounce can French onion soup
Place everything in a saucepan (or crockpot) and stir until heated through."
Aside from the fact that this sounds utterly repulsive to me, if you prepared that as directed, without diluting any of those condensed soups, you aren't going to be eating soup. You'll get a thick viscous mass that looks more like cheddar onion beef pudding.
I suspect this author did not create or test the recipes. On one page he provides a mix to replace cream of X soups, 10 pages later, the recipe calls for a can of the soup instead of the mix. The same ingredient is referred to in different wording from recipe to recipe. Sometimes the recipe calls for teaspoons, spelled out, and other times for tsp. This suggests the recipes were collected from multiple sources and that the author did not actually cook the recipes to see if they worked. Or were edible. At all.
It's not all bad. That's why I gave it 3 stars. There are some decent recipes for using powdered eggs or other LTS foods. I am glad I accessed this title with Kindle Unlimited.
