Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook
Mary Bell Manufacturer: William Morrow and Co., Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0688130240 |
Book Description
Far from being a fad, food dyhydrating is one of the most ancient, effective, and nutritous ways of preserving food. Now, at last, there is a book that teaches absolutely everything there is to know about using an electric food dyhydrator to dry foods at home -- and gives more than 100 foolproof recipes for scrumptious snacks and meals made from dried foods.
With this extraordinary book, you can learn how to cross junk food and expensive store-bought snacks off your family's shopping list -- and add to your cupboard homemade, preservative-free fruit leathers, candied apricots, beef (and fish) jerkies, "sun" dried tomotoes, corn chips, banana chips, and so much more!
Mary Bell gives specific techniques and instructions for preparing every kind of fruit (from apples to watermelon) and vegetable (from asparagus to zucchini). She also provides important shopping tips for buying an electric food dehydrator. The recipes for cooked meals (including mushroom soup, sloppy joes, pesto, and moist banana bread) will make this book a kitchen classic. And recipes for lightweight, filling trail snacks mean that the book will travel, too.
Additional chapters explain to how make herb seasonings, granolas, celery powder, cosmetics, dried fruit sugars, potpourri -- and even pet treats!
Food drying is an excellent way for gardeners to preserve their produce. It is a great way to make healthful snacks for the kids. It's perfect for the new wave of thrifty consumers who can't bear to spend dollars at health food stores for treats they cold make for pennies themselves. And food drying doesn't use chemicals or preservativesso it's great for you and for the planet, too!

A Good Basic Book.......2004-09-29
Your mileage may vary.......2004-03-25
Most of the book is regular recipes that use dehydrated versions of the basics (fruits and veges). It has a couple of pages about jerky and fruit leathers. If you are dehydrating to save the bumper crop from the garden, this may be what you want. However if you are dehydrating for backpacking/camping etc, these are definately are not trail-ready recipes.
The book doesnt have more than a few pages about what to dehydrate, and how to do it. It does have a nice table about how long different foods should take to dry, but it turns out that the listed times are significantly longer than my dehydrator takes so it is of no use to me.
I have found much more useful info at various 'net resources.
Way too basic.......2002-08-31
I wish I had purchased a book with more text, more ideas, and some pictures, since I am totally new to dehydrating. Disappointing.
Finally, an easy to follow guide to food dehydrators.......2001-06-08
This book is cleverly written, easy to follow and has some really good guidelines for using your dehydrator. Not only does the author tell you how to properly dry and candy foods, but she includes recipes for using those foods. There is a section on storing the dried foods and even suggestions on drying non-food items like flowers.
My food dehydrator is now back in the kitchen and getting regular use, thanks to this little book!

Fra Angelico: San Marco, Audio Guide to San Marco in Florence and Its Remarkable Fresco Cycle (Jane's Smart Art Guides)
Manufacturer: Context Audio Guides ProductGroup: Book Binding: Audio CD ASIN: 097690523X |
Book Description
The magnificent frescoes in chapels and town halls across Italy are among the greatest achievements of Renaissance art. Commissioned by either private patrons or by the Church, the great artists of the day produced images of matchless beauty. The work of Fra Angelico at the Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence is a brilliant reflection of the remarkable artistry of the timeJane's Smart Art(tm) Fra Angelico at San Marco audio guide is an adaptation of a now out-of-print book written by William Hood, the renowned Fra Angelico scholar. One in the series The Great Fresco Cycles of the Renaissance, Professor Hood's book treated the Fra Angelico frescoes of San Marco in the context of their religious, artistic, and historical significance.
The Jane's Smart Art Guide(tm) to the Fra Angelico frescoes at San Marco tells of the central role that the artist-friar's work played in the daily lives of his fellow Observant Dominicans. Between 1440 to 1452 Fra Angelico and his faithful assistants graced the walls of the convent with more than 50 elegant frescoes that still today, well more than 500 years later, convey the profound piety and humility that characterized members of the Observant Dominican order.
With Jane guiding you through this quiet, cloistered setting -- appreciating it step-by-step in the framework of its history - you will come away with a deep and lasting appreciation of the essence of this remarkable place.
Understand the influence of Observant Dominican principles on the choice of subject matter and the placement of the images;
Hear how the images conveyed the ancient ideas and traditions of the Dominican order and the meaning of life at San Marco;
Learn about the architecture of the convent, the life of Fra Angelico, and the political climate of the day; and Appreciate Fra Angelico's piety and technical virtuosity as you listen to the commentary on each fresco.

Season of the Body: Essays
Brenda Lynn Miller Manufacturer: Sarabande Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1889330698 |
Book Description
"The body knows a language the mind never wholly masters." In this remarkable debut collectionessentially a memoir in essay formBrenda Miller creates an autobiography that locates her body as its central reference point. Single and unable to bear children of her own, Miller details a life in relationship to the extended human family, a journey that traverses realms physical, emotional, and spiritual.From her training in massage and reflexology, to her volunteer work in a hospital's infant ward, Miller remains a constant seeker and humble teacher. Raised in a suburban Jewish household in the sixties, Miller grows up to find herself sitting in meditation for hours at a time, both bemused and intrigued by Buddhist precepts. Or she engages in her own ironic brand of mindfulness while caring for two little girls or attending the birth of her godson. She brings us to Portugal, Syria, Israel, and the deserts of southern Utah, but these are no mere travelogues: they become, instead, maps by which to navigate the intricate maze of our lives. These personal essays vary from the lyric to the narrative to the humorous, but always we warm to Miller's authentic voice as she explores personal joys and heartbreaks within a larger domain.
Organically shaped, never forced, these award-winning essays arrive with the pleasant snap of physical detail and leave with unforgettable insights on birth, prayer, and human resilience. Nurturing, yet uncommonly honest, Season of the Body articulates the unspoken losses, the desires held deep in the mute chambers of the heart.
