About the Book
The Good Eats series' books focus on food storage and pantry preparedness for tough times, whether due to personal challenges like job loss, budget constraints, food allergies, or more widespread concerns like mounting inflation, political instability, or food insecurity. Food Storage Made Fabulous teaches basic food storage principles and provides recipes for fabulous food your family will love. Good Eats at the TEOTWAWKI Café, Volume 1, Making the Most of Powdered Milk in Your Food Storage is the premier food-storage masterclass for working miracles in all things dairy-milk, yogurt, cream cheese, cream soups, and so much more-from the much-maligned dry milk powder. With Good Eats at the TEOTWAWKI Café, Volume 2, Condiments, Sauces, Seasonings, and Other Homemade Essentials Using Food Storage, you'll easily transform pantry staples into mayonnaise, salad dressings, ketchup, dips, syrups, and more. You'll dress up basic meals with these condiments in mere minutes. New to making condiments, sauces, and dressings? No problem! The 180+ recipes are the easiest and quickest of all recipes to master, working wonders to boost visual appeal and tempt the taste buds. They utilize ingredients you already have on hand or can easily acquire at the grocery store.
