I really like this book, because most of this book has produced homemade food staples. Like how to make homemade milk, pancake flour, and so much more.Your pantry items can get expensive, and full of additives, but this book helps with that. It is healthier and cheaper than store bought staples. You can make homemade ketchup, yogurt and cheese, butter, etc. a lot cheaper. I would suggest you get this book if you want healthier food and no additives.
