    3.0 out of 5 stars My food storage is no longer just sitting on a shelf, February 5, 2010

    This is a book geared toward, but not limited to, the Mormon population and it focuses on the products available from their church canneries. If you use it understanding these factors you can get a lot out of it. The recipes are basic family-friendly fare; delicious but not gourmet. I found the book, and Crystal's website, shortly after buying several food storage items that I planned to store for 20-30 years, and then throw out and replace if I didn't have to use them. The money was spent just to have a back-up, but now I'm using at least one or two items on a daily basis and I plan to use all of them and replenish as I go along. This is a much better use of my money and storage space.

    There are positive and negatives about this book. First, the positive aspects:

    You will learn how to actually USE your stored food on a daily basis. This really is the focus of the book and the web-site, not how to survive without power. Not only will you save money by not wasting... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the purchase, but more introductory than comprehensive, February 7, 2010

    I will concur with all reviewers who have previously noted that this book is clearly written by a person with a particular religious (Mormon/LDS) orientation and outlook.

    Since I am a Jew, I hope I won't be accused of giving this book a good review just for being friends with the author. ;) Frankly, there is stuff in this book that is very far from my interests, but that doesn't make the book less useful in its own little way.

    Fundamentally, this book is IDEAL as an introduction to how one might use one's food storage as part of daily cooking. It is actually arranged into chapters based upon adding food storage items into your daily cooking, one at a time. That means there is a chapter on Using Powdered Milk, Using Powdered Eggs, and Using Dried Beans. It also means that the recipes aren't arranged in the more typical way--based upon types of food like breakfast or dessert. Reading through the bean section then, one skips from recipes for cake to psuedo-sausage... Read more

    This is an excellent book and a great resource for those of us who are buying food in bulk, beefing up our food storage and generally learning to cook with food storage ingredients.

    Two notes that I didn't see in other reviews.

    1. This is very much an LDS book in the very introduction. There is a whole section in the front of the book about having a Family Home Evening, for example. There is an assumption that you will agree or be saving food storage and learning to use it because you are LDS. This is a small portion of the book but if you are not LDS and are not interested in this, it might help to know about it.

    2. This book is heavy on the dried milk, dried eggs, and similar ingredients. It barely, if at all covers things like cornmeal, whole wheat flour, and other ingredients that are a bit more difficult to cook with/grind etc.

    Those two items were not an issue for me. However, my friend who is not LDS but has much in the way of... Read more
