The Dehydrator Bible: Includes Over 400 Recipes (Updated Second) (Spiral Bound)

Review Quotes:
This one's an encyclopedia. It's a good resource for recipes on the spot but may be overwhelming if you`re starting out. I like to have it on the shelf in case I'm looking to expand ideas but it`s recipes are so literal (an advantage to many) that I prefer to use this to brainstorm my own ideas from rather than to use it each piece. This could apply to all levels of home preservers but I like it best as an on-demand reference as opposed to a manual.-- "Well Preserved wellpreserved.ca" (4/25/2011 12:00:00 AM)
