Book Reviews of Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook
Book Review: Wonderful Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this machine. It is so easy to use and the food tastes great. Book Review: my book report
Summary: 4 Stars
The only reason that this doesn't get 5 stars is, its not all that it seems. I've got several books on dehyrating. Some of them 15 years old or so. Dehydrators and the art of dehydration has come a long way since then, but found with some products, like winter squash, it hasn't changed - regardless of what modern books says.
Still, Mary Bell's enthusiasm make this a great book to read. She covers many more food types than the old books, along with offering more diverse recipes.
Personally, as I live in the desert South West, I'd like more information on solar dehydration rather than relying on machines and electricity.
But from her advice, successfully made some raisins from a lot of so so grapes that I'd bought - something I'd never have tried otherwise.
So if you're a beginner or advance dehydrator, she's got LOTS of information in here that might give you 1 or 100 new ideas on what, how, and why you should consider dehydration as a primary way of preserving your foods.
Book Review: Great dehyrator book
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewer "dunnd1" commented that this book does not cover jerky. He is incorrect. I learned to make jerky with this book; it contains some wonderful jerky recipes.Book Review: The "bible" for dehydrating foods.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a food dehydrator collecting dust somewhere, get this book and haul it out!This is the best basic book I've seen for preserving foods through dehydration. Not only does she tell you what you need to do *before* you dry it, but she tells you what you can do with the stuff after it's dried. Recipes that are useable, recipes for camping, and some that will surprise you - this is a very comprehensive book.
This is a must-have for backpackers who want every ounce to count, since dried foods weigh so little. A must for parents who read the "Fruit Roll-ups" label in horror: make your own fruit leathers! She'll tell you how to make fantastic beef jerky, too.
If you dry foods, you need this book.
Book Review: Strongly recommended for those considering a dehydrator
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this after I bought my dehydrator, although I would have bought a better dehydrator if I had read this before. This book gives several great reasons why you should consider a dehydrator, and how to make the most of it. I could have never imagined making a tofu cracker, for instance!!After I read it almost entirely in one night, I find it a great reference to go back to, whenever I'm considering dehydrating something new. I couldn't compare this with other titles on dehydrating food since I haven't read them, but I'm quite satisfied with this one. Addition of dehydrated pictures would be a great addition however.
