If you would prefer a physical copy of the book - please see this option.

How I recommend you use this book:

  1. Download to your device where you normally keep downloads. I don't recommend printing off the Dehydrating Basics portion of the book but keep it handy for reference.
  2. Print off only the journal pages you need as you begin working through your projects - or print them all off in one batch and get your dehydrating binder ready to go! A blank page is included to print off as many times as you need to record any project you want to expand and grow on your own!

While there are a few full-color pages in the book, you can choose the ink saver or black-and-white-only option for your particular printer.

Hint: If you go to a shop like Staples, you can use their copy machines to print only the journal sheets.

Excellent Resource

I am just beginning my dehydrating journey and I would like to say both these books have been a great resource! It’s well written, simple, with very easy to follow recipes and instructions. Initially, I found the thought of dehydrating my food supply daunting, but after my first try with the frozen vegetable recipe, I am now venturing into others. With each new recipe, My confidence continues to build. I highly recommend both for anyone who is a novice or even contemplating dehydrating food. Thank you for so much wonderful information Darcy!

Love this book, it is amazing.

I love the book. I have learned so much about dehydrating and read the information in the book for whatever food I am planning to dehydrate before starting so that I know I am doing it correctly. I love the pages with the information for printing out for the diary that I have started. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge about dehydrating for future use, it has saved me a lot of money by not throwing away food.
