Product Description

While home freezers were almost unheard of before the 1930s, they are now a common appliance in North American households. In fact, some 3 million freezers are sold each year.

What accounts for their popularity? Simply that freezing is the easiest, most natural way to preserve food -- whether it's fresh summer produce saved for enjoyment in winter or prepared meals that can be easily thawed and reheated when needed. Freezing also provides a number of economic benefits, allowing consumers to buy food in quantity at the best prices.

What many people don't realize, however, is that some foods are more successfully frozen than others. And of those foods that do freeze well, using the proper techniques can make a big difference in their flavor and texture. That's why just about anyone who owns a freezer needs The Best Freezer Cookbook.

Here you'll find comprehensive reference to the various techniques for freezing fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, fish and seafood. In addition, the book provides over 100 recipes -- including appetizers, soups, main meals, side dishes and desserts -- all specially selected to give the best possible results when frozen. Each section is designed to help you get the maximum benefit from your freezer, with helpful suggestions for easy entertaining, meal planning, simple heat-and-eat dishes for busy weeknights, and freezing baked goods. And, of course, no freezer cookbook would be complete without recipes for homemade ice cream!

The perfect book for everyone who wants the best from their freezer.

Summary: Look elsewhere 2005-08-15
Comment: Where to begin? Her Muffeletta - an olive-based sandwich -- had NO OLIVES in it.

These are not recipes adapted specifically for the freezer, they are compiled from various other authors and adapted to this book. Not necessarily a bad idea, but it was in this case.

The book is also sprinkled with recipes that can't be frozen! They have fun comments like this one for Salad Nicoise: "Freezer Tip: It would be great if you could freeze a salad and have it ready to go at a moment's notice. Unfortunately..."

The real problem with this book is that it gave me no insight. If you happen to like things like "Hawaiiwan Tuna Wraps" (with cream cheese, pineapple, and sunflower seeds) or very basic recipes like "lazy lasagna" that isn't really lasagna, you might like it. I was hoping for some insight about how to really adapt the freezer with my own recipes. While the book does offer a list of foods that don't freeze well and tips on freezing individual ingredients (which is why I won't just throw it away), the mission was not accomplished.

Summary: Excellent Recipes! 2003-03-22
Comment: I used this book along with the 30-Day Gourmet and Frozen Assets book for my first freezer cooking adventure. This one has the BEST recipes- can't go wrong! It is not formatted for bulk cooking though, so I used the 30-Day Gourmet book's format (which is excellent!)and some of its recipes AND information and some recipes from Frozen Assets for my adventure. I am very pleased and am going to cook more and more of the recipes from the Best Freezer Cookbook. Make sure you try the Best Meatloaf (or whatever the name is) recipe!!! I used it for loaves and balls and have served them with sauces found in the 30-Day book to our delight every time!

Summary: Very busy freezer book.......... 2001-09-29
Comment: A lot of the recipes were good but had a lot of ingredients and alot of stuff I would never freeze any how. If you are looking for freezer book I would use the Ball Book of canning, freezing and dehydration. Mostly I freeze what ever is left over in garden and don't spend tons of time making stuff for my freezer but if that is what you are looking for this will do.
