a waste of time and money
I should have paid attention to the negative reviews of this book. Pay attention to them because they are all true. This is the most convoluted method of food storage I've ever heard of. This is not all the ingredients in one jar for dinner as the title suggests but ingredients in 2, or 3 jars PLUS other items from your freezer/fridge (sheesh!). There are only 30 recipes in the book and they don't even sound very good. It is mostly soup or casseroles and many of these have both rice and elbow macaroni in them which seems weird (one or the other but both???) Her chicken noodle soup recipe doesn't have "noodles" but rather (you guessed it) elbow macaroni and rice in it! There is only one recipe out of 30 that I might try. I have many food storage/pantry cookbooks and this is the WORST. This amateurish attempt at a cookbook is NOT quick, NOT easy, and ridiculously over-priced. The positive reviews must have been written by the friends and family of the author. I hope you take this warning to heart and don't waste $15 bucks like I did. There is a blog on the internet that has (for free!) some great recipes for dry canning freeze dried ingredients and has ALL of those ingredients contained in one mason jar for a meal. Google Chef Tess Bakeresse blog and look at her 52 jar method. If you want a one jar meal that is shelf stable for 5-7 years then Chef Tess is the resource for you.
