few and far
i found this book very informative on a subject that few seem to delve into!!!
GREAT book!!
Just bought a dehydrator an found this book at a local farm store. My regret is I didn't shop here first. Really looking forward to getting to know this book better. I really enjoyed what I read on the way home. I'm confident it will used a lot.
Good but disappointing
So far this book is very thorough in how to dry just about everything and there are some fun recipes but I'm disappointed, too. One of the main reasons that I'm trying to dry my own fruit is that most commercial dried fruit is treated with sulfer dioxide and I am highly allergic to sulfa. (Hives, trouble breathing,...very bad.) This book's answer to pretreating just about every fruit and fruit leather is to sulfer it. I'm sure that makes it better but aren't there other options?
