When starting home storage, I wondered what I would ever do with all that wheat and powdered milk, which are two of the foundation blocks of most storage programs. This cookbook has some very good, diverse recipes, with the added advantage of being usable in the event of power outages, however this type of cooking is tricky and is best learned before it is a necessity. Furthermore, I like this book because some of the recipes remind me of the types of things my grandmother and mother used to cook (steamed puddings, Boston Brown Bread) and that's also fun for the kids, even though time consuming for me. Some recipes are very simplistic (like PB and What? Sandwich), but the point is to list the nutritional values so that one could figure out a complete diet not lacking in anything just from very basic ingredients.
