Reviews for Ultimate Dehydrator Cookbook: The Complete Guide to Drying Food
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 melange 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 (09/29/2014)
