The Food Dehydrating Bible: Grow it. Dry it. Enjoy it!

Unlike other books I’ve found on this subject, this one actually goes into the principals and reasoning behind dehydrating more than recipes. I liked this because it gave me confidence to try my own ideas. Also it covers the different types of food you are likely to dehydrate with a chapter on each such as fruit, vegetables, breads and meats. There are recipes too, but this book is best for those people who want to understand the principles behind dehydrating so they can then use it to suit their own tastes and requirements. The only reason I haven’t given five stars is because it would have been nice to have temperatures in Celsius as well as Fahrenheit, plus a rough idea how long various foods take to dehydrate - though the author does point out that time estimations are very vague because there are so many factors involved.

the book gave useful information and techniques especially for us who were just starting out on our dehydrating adventure.

It's a reasonable enough book about dehydrating (albeit with the dreaded US weights, measures and temperatures) but leaves many questions unanswered and it's a little short on detail. Nice enough read but hardly worth the title of 'Bible'. Glad it was cheap. I won't feel bad consigning it to the heap of 'Seemed like a good idea at the time' books.

Full of good tips and ideas, has helped me to get started.

I actually found this book really helpful and infirmative
