    • This book is a godsend!
I have been interested in freeze drying ingredients for specialty desserts but was daunted by the labyrinthine searches I made all over the Internet looking for advice. After a lot of research I wasn’t even sure I wanted to move forward, especially since I already have years of experience in basic dehydration, but a friend recommended this book and it is a godsend! Everything I could want to know is here, written in a fun, easy-to-understand way, plus I learned so much! At first, it seems to be written more for homesteaders and people who want to live off the grid (I live downtown in a big city in a restored historic home, so that’s not my goal at all), but it turns out that the book is written for EVERYONE who is interested in freeze drying. And even though I started out thinking I’d use it to take my desserts (for gourmet chocolates and sweets for the Japanese tea ceremony), I’m inspired now to use it for many other things. The book is full of fascinating information, from the history of freeze drying to how to use it to lower food waste and your carbon footprint. Also, my mind is completely blown by the fact that I can freeze-dry certain foods and expect them to remain fresh and nutritious for decades. DECADES!! Again…mind blown. So, I got this book to see if it was a fit for me for very specific needs and ended up being totally inspired to expand my whole way of thinking about it. I’m still excited to start using it for amazing chocolates and tea sweets, but now I’m also excited to experiment with preserving stuff I get from the local CSA, my garden, and bulk sales. And the idea of freeze-drying cultures for things like sourdough starters has me sooooo excited! Who knew? And travel will never be the same again! This book is so much more than a how-to guide. It will inspire you to really broaden your horizons in so many ways. ... show more

    • Great Guide
Format: Paperback
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! ... show more

    • Good freeze drying companion
Format: Paperback
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. ... show more

    • Blue Alpine owner
Format: Paperback
Overall I’m Happy with this book but all of the recipes/ instructions are for Harvest Right FD and we have a Blue Alpine. It’s easy enough to adapt to the Blue Alpine machine but if you’re just starting out there is a bit of a learning curve.

    • This is THE book right here!!!
I've read other freeze drying books on the market, BUT they all lacked thoroughness. I always finished the pages wanting more information. This book, however, will take you from the very beginning: educating you about the different sized machines and tray capacities, which ultimately informs your decision about what size machine you should get; walking you through the set-up; getting that first load going; and encouraging you to think about prepping the next foods for the freezer. It really holds your hand and offers so much wisdom that once could only be found after hours and hours spent reading posts in some of the freeze dry groups on Facebook. Now you can save time and everything you need is right here in the pages of the book. There are how-to's for individual foods as well as 40 recipes. I wish there were many more recipes but it's a good start. Almost any receipt can be adapted to freeze dry as long as it doesn't have much fat or chocolate. The book offers much more -- just look at the table of contents and you'll be sold. I've been freeze drying for 8 months and truly wish I had this book before I even bought one. It's THAT valuable. ... show more

    • Everything you ever wanted to know about FDing!
This is a great book! I bought my freeze dryer last year and this would have answered all of the questions that I've had. It lays our all of the specs of each of the FDers sizes, gives you all the info needed to start FDing safely and also gives ideas of other non-food items to FD. It tells you how to set the machine up, where to set it up and tells you everything you'll need to run it. They also list accessories that can make FDing even easier. I loved the idea of FDing flowers and I will be using the list in this book of flowers that FD well. There is also a list of how to FD around 175 items..in detail! To top it all off there almost 40 pages of recipes which include tips and how to rehydrate! There is much more in this book. All great information. Thanks so much for letting me be one of the 1st to review this book. ... show more
