Main Dishes and More! - The Manga Cookbook - Japanese Bento Boxes
Main Dishes and More! - The Manga Cookbook - Japanese Bento Boxes

Review:This is probably a better book for those younger cooks out there interested in making bento or highly popularized Japanese cooking. It's simple and the manga style cartoon instructions are easy to follow. I would have preferred more realistic pictures or photos of the food to better guage proportions but it was a cute read nevertheless. Read more

Fifty Shades of Chicken: A Parody in a Cookbook
Fifty Shades of Chicken: A Parody in a Cookbook

Review:Gave this book to my mother as a Hanukkah present. She was hysterical and showed it to all her friends. Not only is this book funny for any avid 50 Shades reader, but the recipes are scrumptious. My dad even ended up cooking with it! Makes for interesting conversation. Read more

Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking - Salt
Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking - Salt

Review:I love this cookbook! I bought it for my wife but was hogging it so much I bought a second one for myself! I don't like most cookbooks because they tell you how to prepare a dish but they don't tell you why the ingredients work so well together.

Food Storage: Preserving Meat, Dairy, and Eggs
Food Storage: Preserving Meat, Dairy, and Eggs

Review:This book contains multiple methods of preserving each food. I haven't tried (and probably won't try) them all but I do like the dehydrating information on all of the different foods. I mainly got it for dehydrating dairy and eggs so I'll try those in the near future. Read more

Some of the language and terms are archaic. If you are willing to read between the lines and not afraid to do a little experimentation it should work nicely for you. Read more

The Bushcraft Field Guide to Trapping - and Cooking in the Wild

Review:Real good book. I bought it to give away for my family's Christmas gift exchange, along with a survival type knife. People were fighting over it. My cousin, who is a prep'er ended up with it. And to be honest, I read a bunch of it before wrapping it up with Christmas paper. Read more
