In From Freezer to Table, Rachel Tiemeyer and Polly Conner of the
Thriving Home blog provide freezer cooking basics, guidance on
organising your freezer, and options for different ways to cook
with friends. The book has more than 75 simple, family friendly,
and healthy recipes - and some can even be cooked in less than 30
minutes! From flourless banana blender muffins to all natural
chicken tenders and slow cooker entrees, Tiemeyer and Conner's
recipes are easy, inspiring, and time saving for the home cook. In
this book, Tiemeyer and Conner share how to use freezers to their
fullest potential. They each discovered freezer cooking as mums
with three kids, immersed in the balancing act of parenting,
managing a home, and work. Most nights, they'd throw their hands
up, open the freezer, and pull out a boxed pizza. The change came
when they both joined freezer clubs; as they learned how to shop in
bulk, cook larger quantities, and stock their freezers with
nutritious food, they grew to love cooking from scratch. It's whole
foods meets reality - freezer cooking has the power to change your
diet and improve your family's lifestyle.

Whether grow-your-own, bought locally from a farmer's market, or
fresh from an ordinary supermarket, the seasons still affect the
quality, abundance and price of good food. It just makes sense to
preserve food quality for those times when it's not as plentiful or
not available at all. Dehydrating food with this terrific book is
easy and creates tasty food year-round. Incorporating the age-old
practices of food dehydration takes full advantage of what nature
offers. All the wonderful recipes are still here and there is a
bonus section on everything from pet treats to crafts and homemade
gifts. What has changed is that the 'Everything You Need to Know
About Dehydrating Foods' section has been expanded to include even
more comprehensive and complete information about dehydrating foods
along with even more tips and techniques. There are more than 150
recipes for dehydrating everything from herbs and seasonings to
fruits, vegetables, meats and fish. Plus more than 250 delicious
recipes actually use the dehydrated foods as ingredients, putting
home-preserved food to work for home, caravan, boat or campsite.
The easy-to-follow drying instructions along with time guidelines
make even a novice cook feel like a seasoned professional. Planting
a few extra rows of tomatoes or beans, picking many strawberries at
their peak or buying that big basket of freshly harvested carrots
can really pay off later. Loading up the dehydrator will provide
personally dried foods the whole year through.
