The Dehydrator Bible (J. Mackenzie, J. Nutt, D. Mercer)

Welcome to the new-old world of food dehydration. Whether you grow your own food, buy it locally from farmer's markets or farmstands, or even buy it from a regular supermarket, seasonality still affects its price and abundance. It just makes sense to preserve food for times when it's not as plentiful, or not available at all. Drying food is a wonderfully tasty way to do this.

Enjoy incorporating the age-old practice of food dehydration into your modern life and taking full advantage of what nature provides. You'll be thrilled to be cooking with your own dried foods all year round!

• More than 150 recipes for dehydrating everything from herbs and seasonings to fruits and vegetables to meat and fish.
• More than 250 delicious recipes that use dehydrated foods as ingredients so you can put preserved food to work for you in your home, RV, boat or campsite.
