Customer Reviews

A complete guide.

I first checked this out at the library. There is so much good information in here that I decided to buy the book. Most dehydrating books will tell you how to dehydrate but this book also gives you recipes and tips on how to use what you dehydrate. I definately recommend this book if you are getting a dehydrator.

Making and using dried Foods

I'm a first time drier and got several other book on this subject but this is my favorit. Highly recommend.

Awesome

This book is great. Very informative. Bought a dehydrator, Nesco American Harvest FD-75PR. Already dehydrating foods to take on flying trips.

Compare to How to Dry Foods

This has more methods of drying (including sun-drying), it has information on pretreating foods. How to Dry Foods on the other hand has metric to american conversion, and it tells how long specific foods last while dry. If you want methods buy this book, if you want specific facts, buy How to Dry Foods. Personally, I'm buying this one.

Similarities to previous out of print Garden Way Book

This book will be a happy surprise for those of you who are looking for the out of print and hard to find "Garden Way's Guide to Food Drying" by Phyllis Hobson. This is basically the same book, with all the tips and hints for drying vegetables, fruits and herbs, but with even more recipes than the out of print book. Both the author and the publisher are the same.
