Review: Good Basic Information

Like the author's book on Food Canning, this book has great basic information, including homemade outdoor dehydrator plans. There aren't a lot of recipes, but that's not what food drying is about - it's really about drying ingredients that you can use to make recipes later. My tiny concern with some of the instructions on this book is that the reader is advised to peel most all fruit, even though there are fruits (such as apples) that dehydrate fine with the peel on, and the peel adds extra nutrition and fiber the the end product. But definitely peel your bananas - much better results! ;o) This book is comprehensive and very readable with an expression of a good sense of humor. Highly recommend!
