The Spicy Dehydrator Cookbook: 95 Incredible Recipes to Turn Up the Heat on Jerky, Hot Sauce, Fruit Leather and More

Colorful, easy to read and understand and chock full of delicious recipes, I recommend this book to anyone wanting to explore the world of dehydrated foods!

Fantastic book! Great recipes!

Very little material on the how - instead you are deferred to your dehydrator manual which is often lacking.Everything he says on the subject can be found with a simple Google search "dehydrator jerky".In spite of jerky featuring prominent in the title there's only about 30 pages on the subject mostly recipes.Then many of his recipes don't really resemble jerky in that he bakes the preparation in the oven then pats dry and dehydrates. The duh parts comes when you realize you could just do it all in the oven by taking the baked meat out, turn oven down to 160F and placing the baked meat on a wire rack on a cookie sheet to dehydrate. He never says that however - he refers to the dehydrator.Then we have the hot sauces. Spicy yes, dehydrator no. So why are they here? Nothing you can't find on any number of sites making hot sauces. I personally don't know if I'll remember that there are hot sauce recipes in a spicy dehydrator book. Then we have other non sequitur chapters like soups and risottos! Seriously here's an example of a total non-sequitur to the books title "Spicy Dehydrator Cookbook" - Mexican style couscous. It uses dried vegetables in the ingredients without telling you how to make them.I suggest saving your money for a book that educates you on how to effectively use your dehydrator with recipes tossed in instead of a generic cookbook with jerky thrown in as an oddity.

Love Mike's recipes, books and ideas. I made Spiced Cauliflower Popcorn yesterday. WOW. what a great snack and salad topping. I used the recipe in the book (Pg. 143)as inspiration and for basic quantities, Used already made from his recipe for hot sauce...I called it Wicked hot Sauce. Had some left over jalapeno water from boiling the jalapenos for the creamy Jalapeno Sauce ( I make this regularly) . Smokey salt added some depth, too. Always organic ingredients. So Yummy!

I ran across a recipe for Cauliflower Popcorn using a dehydrator that was from this cookbook. I try to eat low carb, and finding healthy snacks is always a quest of mine. Crunchy, salty, spicy snacks that are low in carbs ... sign me up !Let's put it this way. After seeing this cookbook, I went to Amazon, bought a dehydrator and now shopping for items to make these awesome recipes ! Nice job Mike .... you Totally Rock !

A lot of yummy recipes. Not a lot of unusual ingredients to hunt down. Very simple to make. Gives you ideas on making your own.

This has expanded my ideas regarding making chili sauces and there are many more good things not about chili

This cookbook was a gift. It was not new- crisp. Definitely been read through. The recipient was happy, I was embarrassed.

Picked up this book and at first glance I have to admit I had some reservations, however, once I tried some of the recipes my mind was blown! The Jerky recipes in this book, especially the Mongolian, the Chipolte Bourbon and the ghost pepper are absolutely insanely delcious! I made several batches and gave them to my friends, who said it was the best jerky they ever had and wanted to buy it by the pound. I am now going through the book and trying every recipe and very few of them are disappointing. For heat lovers his book is really a must have!

Adorei, tem várias receitas com carne, muitas dicas, dá pra criar bastante coisa com as receitas e as técnicas. Um dos melhores livros sobre desidratação que já comprei.
