  • AMAZING.... like Carolyn! Excellent Book worth the $$$ Well written, lots of details and organized!
5 Stars to Carolyn for this great, "how to", for Freeze Drying, best printed book on the subject, I've seen so far. Freeze Drying is new to the average person the last few years. We all learned results were amazing yet wondered a lot in trial and error. I probably started close to the time Carolyn did and there was a lot to learn in the sense of variety of preparations for food, short cuts, details of the machines, once freeze dried then what and the list went on. She's covered it all and in a very organized fashion and a beautiful know all for Freeze Drying Book. I almost canceled the order 3 times as the wait was long, first printing coming out on Amazon about 3 months and then delayed, but I had faith in Carolyns youtubes, she'd have an amazing book and she did, glad I held out and love the book. It's huge, and beautiful, the work had to be a longggg project in making and well done. She's a great step by step teacher and with lots of answers for questions. Lets face it she's a mom of 11, she answers questions and teaches daily. Anyone wanting to freeze dry, this is the BOOK of the Decades for the subject. Check out her Chapters, amazing break down of everything. Back in the day as a rural farm girl, we would have said this got a 4-H Blue ribbon it is done so well. Would also make an amazing gift for anyone interested in Freeze Drying. Thanks Carolyn and to all that helped you. Your family is amazing, real and we're thankful for you and sharing. Your neighbor just over in Spokane. Blessings to you! Ginger ... show more

  • Fantastic and complete book
This book is a good size and hardcover which is unusual for some of these books. It's very complete and has beautiful photos. It not only talks about the freeze drying different things but also set up, what kind of power outlet you need and food prep prior to freeze drying. Highly recommend!

  • Finally!! A freeze-dry book worth buying!!
Our family travels a lot and like to take nutritious freeze-dried food with us but commercial pre-made freeze-dried meals tend to be high in salt and contain unwanted additives. We started making our own but with all of the conflicting information out there it is difficult to know if we were doing things right and when it comes to food preserving, you want to be safe and do it correctly. This book has everything, including how to understand your freeze-dryer settings, how to prepare, store and rehydrate your food and discusses many specific popular foods to freeze-dry and their uses. In addition there is a yogurt recipe as well. Worth every penny! ... show more

  • Great book must have for all FD users.
Preordered this book and had a hard time waiting patiently. It is well worth the wait. Carolyn did an excellent job with how the book is written. Very organized, concise, informative. I had my FD for several months and had run over 20 times. Had kept a journal for each run so when the book arrived I was able to compare my notes to self and findings with what was in the book. Found much needed info that I could have used early on good news is I have it now. Many thanks for all your research and time Carolyn! Love the book! Have recommended it to my FD friends! ... show more

  • Love this Freeze Drying book
Carolyn, has done a ton of research. She has years of experience and she yelled you what not to freeze dryer. There are charts on how much produce you need for what size of trays you have. She has recipes and a lot of tips about how to do things. I am very impressed with the book! I use it all the time now! ... show more
