 Mary Bell gives specific techniques and instructions for preparing every kind of fruit (from apples to watermelon) and vegetable (from asparagus to zucchini). There are beef jerky recipes and beef jerky safety information. She also provides important shopping tips for buying an electric food dehydrator. The recipes for cooked meals (including mushroom soup, sloppy joes, pesto and moist banana bread) will make this book a kitchen classic. And recipes for lightweight, filling trail snacks mean that the book will travel, too.
Additional chapters explain how to make herb seasonings, granolas, celery powder, cosmetics, dried fruit sugars, potpourri, and even pet treats! Food drying is an excellent way for gardeners to preserve their produce. It is a great way to make healthful snacks for the kids. It's perfect for the new wave of thrifty consumers who can't bear to spend dollars health food stores for treats they could make for pennies themselves. And food drying doesn't use chemicals or preservatives -- so it's great for you and for the planet, too!
