    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the ultralight backpacker!, February 10, 2006
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Freezer Bag Cooking: Trail Food Made Simple (Paperback)
    I too was given this book as a gift and it's great!

    I've tried a number of the recipes (and a few of my own now) and have never had any problems with pouring hot water in a freezer bag. (I called the manufacturer and they said it would be fine.)

    The author outlines the simple prep/packaging/cooking process clearly and what I got were great, tasty meals that cut the weight of my pack by 25%. Also, for once I was able to improve my packweight (and menu) without having to buy a bunch of expensive gear. My kitchen now consists of a tin pot, plastic spoon and a super-cheap pepsi can stove. (So I blew the money on a new tent...but that's another story...)

    As the child of a professional chef, I never could stomach the freeze-dried stuff and MRE's (which don't taste much better)weigh a ton. Now I've got a book full of great tasting, easy to prepare recipes and I can leave the 20lbs of canned/fresh food (along with most of my old cook gear) at home... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Junk Food in a Bag, January 9, 2010
    By 
    This review is from: Freezer Bag Cooking: Trail Food Made Simple (Paperback)
    Taking dehydrated food in bags is as old as Lewis and Clark taking jerky and dried berries in leather pouches on their big explore. But that doesn't stop the author from trying to take credit for starting a movement.

    Aside from the sparse writing and large spaces between lines (it's more of a pamphlet than a book, judging on content, entire pages will have only a short paragraph and the author rambles to fill even that space), the recipes are horrible.

    The main ingredient for most of the recipes is Ramen noodles and couscous. The whole chapter on Dessert is 11 ways to make pudding with crushed up cookies or candy; written out separately for each flavor.

    The author acknowledges this isn't very healthy and tells us all to buy her next book for the healthier recipes. You also have to go to the website (which is mentioned so often it is laughable) to get the low sodium versions. This appears to be planned to get us all to the website which is no... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Response to "Kate24", March 19, 2007
    By 
    This review is from: Freezer Bag Cooking: Trail Food Made Simple (Paperback)
    In response to reviewer Kate24: I am not the author, I do not know the author, I purchased an earlier version of this book, directly from the author's website, before it was available on Amazon, based on the free information she had posted on the Web. In addition, I own a number of other camping/backpacking recipe books, and I do camp and backpack.

    This is a useful little book, with lots of ideas that can serve as a starting point for making up your own recipes. I have actually used very few of the recipes in this book, but I still HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, because it gets my mind thinking about recipes of my own.

    Although Sarah did not originate the idea of using freezer bags, dehydrated foods and boiling H2O, she has helped to spread the word on a great way to pack meals for a backpacking trip that cut weight, eliminate cleanup that wastes time and valuable potable water, and taste good while providing more than adequate nutrition.

    Buy this book and a... Read more

      This review is from: Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Family Safe in a Crisis by Peggy Layton (Paperback)
      The author has compiled a vast amount of information on emergency preparedness and food storage. The book is well written and easy to read and follow. I would consider this book a must have reference for people looking to start home emergency preparedness.

      A truly great product that everyone should have in the back of their
      cupboard for when the power goes off or when the temperature dips and
      you cannot get to the grocery store.

      This review is from: Vegetable Lasagna CS6 (Misc.)
      I tried the Mountain House lasagna and was surprised how delicious it tasted. The ease in which to cook it also was a pleasant surprise.

      I received the item in the time promised. I would definitely purchase this item again.
