The Only Beginner Freeze Drying Book You'll Ever Need: Learn the Simple Process to Create Food Storage for Your Survival Pantry and Discover Easy Recipes Your Family Will Love

Great book for beginners. Guided me through toast test to fruit, vegetables, meals, etc. Has very detailed info on logging and maintenance. This is my go to book. Includes recipes.

Daughter and I went together and bought a large Harvest Right. This book really helped with the setup. The manual that came with the dryer really wasn’t sufficient for a newbie. So far have only done the bread test . Hoping to maybe get to some fruit this week. Highly recommend this book for any newbies out there.

This book is excellent for a new owner of a freeze dryer. It walks you through so many things about freeze drying, storage and rehydrating and reconstitution. It is a must have book. I have underlined and made notes in this book.

Love it! Answers a lot of my questions. Would love to see more meal suggestions.

I've enjoyed using this book; it is replete with good information for the beginner. I'm using a Blue Alpine freeze dryer, not a Harvest Right, which is what the authors are using as their reference point, but it's easy enough to apply their instructions and get similar results. They talk about the weight of the trays, which I guess must be a setting for the Harvest Right, but that's not something I've taken into consideration and it hasn't seemed to matter.Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't see anywhere what size freeze dryer the recipe quantities are for. But I found that if I halved the ingredient amounts, that seemed to work pretty well for the size of my trays in the medium freeze dryer.The recipes are great; I've only used a few but want to try more. The only quibble so far is the recipe for the Pumpkin Pie Drops. It calls for maple syrup, which I found caused the mixture to separate before I could pipe all the drops onto the tray. I'm thinking next time I'll use maple sugar instead. That might also help to reduce the drying time slightly.But overall, I appreciate how detailed the book is, and would recommend it to anyone who's a newbie to freeze drying.

A really good book to have if one does not know much about freeze drying foods. Lots of great information for any one to read and remember. Well worth the cost.

I bout this for my adult son for his birthday. He purchased a commercial size Freeze Dryer and has been experimenting with it for a few months, so not a beginner. He's discovered some really great recipe, but also has had a few Big flops, that cost him a lot of cleaning time and money he invested into the ingredients. This book is Great because, it takes a lot of the guessing out of the game. It tells what products freeze well, which don't, how to guides and some really Awesome looking recipes. All included in this beautifully color printed book! I've never spent this much on a book before, but now I see it was worth every penny! My 36 year old son was Delighted when he opened this gift for his birthday! I highly recommend this to anyone who would like to learn how to freeze dry goods and avoid some Hugh Headaches along the way!

Easy to understand
