I've recently decided to try my hand at dried/dehydrate foods, but for the most part I was largely unfamiliar with the process, so "Dehydration and Drying for Beginners" turned out to be a smart and practical choice for me as I delve into the process. Tara Ford does a wonderful job of keeping the book easy to understand, straightforward and filled with a wealth of information... giving a solid foundation of knowledge so that beginners like me can easily and successfully start preserving food. What I liked about this book was that the author really takes the time to explain the intricacies of dehydration and drying, exploring everything from the type of food to dry to the end result and "shelf life", etc. It's well-written with a great deal of tips, techniques and advice on bettering you results and on truly understanding the actual process. Overall, this was well worth the read and has me eager to get started on preserving my food in a natural and more cost effective/space-saving way.
