A new update of the bestselling book in its field -- 100,000 in print.

Whether grow-your-own, bought locally from a farmer's market, or fresh from a regular supermarket, seasonality still affects the quality, abundance and price of good food.

Incorporating the age-old practices of food dehydration takes full advantage of what nature offers. All the wonderful recipes are still here and there is a bonus section on everything from pet treats to crafts and homemade gifts. What has changed is that the "Everything You Need to Know About Dehydrating Foods" section has been expanded to include even more comprehensive and complete information about dehydrating foods along with even more tips and techniques.

There are more than 150 recipes for dehydrating everything from herbs and seasonings to fruits, vegetables, meats and fish, plus more than 250 delicious recipes that actually use the dehydrated foods as ingredients. Putting home-preserved food to work for home, RV, boat or campsite has never been easier.

The easy-to-follow drying instructions along with time guidelines make even a novice cook feel like a seasoned professional.

Planting a few extra rows of tomatoes or beans, picking many strawberries at their peak or buying that big basket of freshly harvested carrots can really pay off later. Loading up the dehydrator will provide personally dried foods the whole year through.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DEHYDRATING FOODS

Welcome to the new-old world of food dehydration. Whether you grow your own food, hunt for your own meat, or even buy your food from a regular supermarket, it just makes sense to preserve it for times when it’s not as plentiful, or not available at all.

WHAT IS FOOD DEHYDRATION?

Dehydration — or drying — is the process of removing water from a material. In this book, we look at the use of dried foods and explain how best to remove moisture from a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, as well as some prepared dishes, including meat.

THE DEHYDRATOR BIBLE INCLUDES OVER 400 RECIPES FOR USING DEHYDRATED FOODS IN EVERYDAY COOKING

CHIPOTLE BEEF CHILI & CHILI CORNMEAL CAKES

You can’t beat a rich-flavored chili that’s warm, hearty and filling after a day of extreme trekking. Serve with these flavorful Chili Cornmeal Cakeswith to round out a hearty meal perfectly.

ALOO TARI

The unusual name of this recipe loosely translates to “curried vegetable stew,” but it is certainly much more enticing. Serve this fragrantly spiced, hearty vegetarian dish over steamed basmati rice and with a dollop of yogurt for a satisfying meal.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB TARTS

With dried fruit, these tarts — usually reserved for early summer — can be enjoyed any time of year. For extra decadence, spoon a little custard into the bottom of the tarts before adding the fruit filling.

TIPS

• Choose apples that have a good flavor once heated, such as Granny Smith, McIntosh, Crispin, Cortland or Northern Spy. Apple varieties that are more suited to fresh eatng, such as Royal Gala, don’t have much flavor once dried.

• Apple skin does toughen slightly when dried. If you’re planning to rehydrate and cook the apples, you may wish to peel them before drying. If you’re eating them as snacks, leave the skin on for extra fiber.

DRIED APPLES

Preparation:

Peel apples, if desired, and remove core. Cut crosswise into rings about 1⁄4 inch (0.5 cm) thick.

Pretreatment (optional): To prevent browning, dip apple rings in lemon juice or an ascorbic acid solution (see page 13) as you slice them. Drain well.

Drying: Place on mesh drying trays. Dry at 130°F (55°C).

Time: 5 to 6 hours.

Doneness test: Rings should feel dry and leathery and be spongy and still flexible.

Title: The cookbook I've been looking for!
Review: I've been looking for a cookbook that is specifically adapted for home dehydrated ingreedients for a long time. This is the One. Dehydrating home grown and store purchased meat, veg, and dairy was not new to me. Nor how to use my dehydrator properly. What I truely needed was a detailed cookbook that then focused me now How To Include all the foods that I had processed into clear recipes and tasty home cooked meals.This book should have been more accurately titled 'The Dehydrator Cookbook Bible' . The first 75 pages are dedicated to the basics of food dehydration but it is the remaining portion of the book that really shines for me. Many recipes use a combinatin of fresh and dried ingredients and offer tips for alternative ingredients when there is something you may not have prepped in your pantry. There is also a very large section dedicated to camping/hiking recipes with the majority of them as 'just add water' type of cooking.Overall I would call this an excellent cookbook to add to the shelves of any persons interesnted in Prepping/Sustainability, accross the spectrum to those just interested in how to streach your food buget with home dried ingredients.

Title: Everything You Need to Know About Dehydrators and Using Dried Food
Review: THE DEHYDRATOR BIBLE is exactly what I hoped it would be when I ordered it: An excellent dehydrating reference and recipe book that supplements the brief "getting started" guide that came in the box with my Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator.The book begins with a clear, easy-to-understand chapter that explains how drying works, how to tell when food is dry enough, how to store dried food properly, and when to rehydrate food. It also includes general troubleshooting tips.Next, the book has useful charts that tell you how to handle dehydration for specific herbs (e.g., cilantro, mint, parsley), fruits (e.g., cherries, citrus fruits, peaches, pineapple), and vegetables (e.g., asparagus, radishes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes). For each type of produce, the authors discuss preparation (peel, cut into quarters, etc.), drying (how to arrange on trays, what temperature to use), time (hours required for drying), doneness test (e.g., plums should feel dry and leathery), and tips (e.g., blue or Italian plums give the nicest texture). The book has similar charts for beans, tofu, grains, and dairy products. It also includes a chapter on methods for dehydrating meat, poultry, and fish.The bulk of the book has recipes for cooking "at home" and "on the trail" with dehydrated foods. These recipes are interesting to me, even though I intend to use my dehydrator mostly for fixing fruit snacks, beef jerky, and dried herbs. Should I end up with too many dried peach slices, for example, I can use them to make "Warm Peaches With Ginger". Also, there are a couple of sections of full-color photographs of selected prepared recipes--these, of course, are more or less obligatory in any food book that calls itself a "bible".The last part of the book briefly discusses other uses for a dehydrator, including making cat and dog treats, crafts items (e.g., Christmas ornaments), and gifts (e.g., soup mix, herb teas). I like this book a lot--it's a useful, encyclopedic kitchen reference to be kept right next to my dehydrator.

Title: Loving this book so far!
Review: I bought this book shortly after purchasing my 6-tray Excalibur dehydrator and it's been very helpful in learning the best ways to dehydrate various foods. I've used the recipes in here for apples, pineapples, strawberries, and beef jerky so far. As soon as I receive the dehydrator trays I ordered I'm planning to make some of the fruit leather recipes. I can't wait!

Title: Lots of stuff
Review: I haven’t used any of the recipes yet, and though much of this might be found on the internet, if the internet fails for whatever reason, it would be nice to have a hard copy to refer to. I live in a hurricane zone. I dehydrate veggies that are left over…just in case. But, what do I do with them? I usually powder them and add them to soups. But in a pinch when there isn’t any power, I need a plan B.

Review: My mother in law bought me a dehydrator g fo or my severe corn allergy. I had no idea where to start or what needed to be blanched, cooking times, etc. What an amazing book with so many real recipes and dehydrating tips, trick, etc. Perfect for me with severe corn allergy. Tells you cooking times and if you need to blanch, etc. I bought this because of the recipes pictures. I also have the juicing bible my mother in law gave me many years ago. It’s opened up so many more options gor me and this is an excellent book to get started! It was suggested to in my allergy group and my dehydrating group.

Review: De este libro esperaba aprender a deshidratar y no a cocinar, la mayor parte del libro se dedica a recetas de cocina y la mayoría sin ilustración, es decir, una perdida de dinero. No lo recomiendo.
