The Solar Food Dryer: How to Make and Use Your Own Low-Cost, High Performance, Sun-Powered Food Dehydrator Paperback – January 1, 2006

I live in a sunny, hot, high desert area and was looking for simple instructions on making a solar food dehydrator. This book has all the instructions you will need. Gives you a list of materials; where to find them; how to take advantage of recycled material; materials to stay away from; easy to follow instructions and foods and how to prepare them. Can't wait to get

Eben wrote a good book. More than ever, we all need to shrink our food budget and our bellies at the same time. Moreover, I HATE to cook, so food can get ready that is done for me by sunshine is a great deal, especially where I live in Hawaii. Tasty pictures of dried food, plus plans to build your own food drying along with photos of tools and techniques. Good job!

I gererally, thought this Book was well Done,with lots of Details,but would have like to seen a detailed Construction of at least another Form of a Food Dryer than the Authors.Showed pictures of other Forms though.Looking Foward to making a Version of the Authors this Summer &will attempt to make it more Mobile.

We used this book to build a bigger dryer that suits our needs it was what we needed to get the design and make a fully functional solar food dyer. We have 3 large screens in ours and didn't add the lights since we live in Utah and have alot of sun. I dry fruits and vegetables all summer for winter food, backpack food, preserving food...

Great book, theres really not much to say about the book, if you want to know how to build a Solar Food Dryer this is the book for you. It is well explained each step and you don't need a lot of previous knowledge to know how to use it.

This book gives good instructions on building a solar dehydrator and explains why it uses the design chosen. I'm not sorry I bought it.

Another great book. I purchased it the same time as the solar food dryer and am anxious to experiment with it. Unfortunately, I live in the great Pacific NorthWET...s left out intentionally. As soon as it quits raining, I'm going to "play"! Seriously, great ideas in this book.

If you're looking to build a solar food dehydrator as I am then this is probably the best single book out there. The plans are pretty clear and I thought the directions were well written and easy to follow.
