Jerky: The Complete Guide to Making It

This book is all about making your own jerky, from beef, from fish, heck, from any just about any kind of critter that walks, flies, or swims.► WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS BOOKIf you’re a fan of making your own jerky, or want to learn the how-to, then this book gives you that information. I think I own copies of all Mary Bell’s dehydrator and jerky books.► TOP 3 THINGS I LIKED♦ The personal stories♦ The variety of recipes♦ I purchased the kindle edition. The book made good use of text color and the images were of decent resolution when zoomed in on my kindle fire, 8.9-inch screen► RATING OF KEY FEATURES♦ Recipes were well laid out, I didn’t note any missing text or steps♦ The recipes used reasonable quantities of meat per recipe, and provided information for scaling up or down♦ The book had a table of contents♦ The book had a hyperlinked recipe index. The recipe index referenced page numbers, which are of little use to a kindle device♦ The book provided a list of references and websites with hyperlinks► ANY SPECIAL FEATURES♦ No special features noted► SUMMARYI make a lot of my own beef jerky, and have even published my own jerky book. But this review is about Mary’s book, not mine. I like the inclusion of personal stories woven throughout the text. The many recipes, well they give me a lot to think about. I like to use recipes as a rough guide and I tweak them to my own preferences as I go.If your a hunter, then this book is more applicable to you. Most of my food is purchased from the local grocer and farmers markets. With that said, the recipes are equally applicable to beef as they might be to elk or venison.If you’re a jerky fan, then you won’t be disappointed. This is a top-notch book and full of recipes and personal anecdotes about jerky and jerky making.

Mary Bell, YOU ROCK!! Great book, descriptive, informative, recipes, hints, tips, tricks from a MASTER!! Inspired to make MORE JERKY after Iowa deer hunting season!! :-)
