Daisy knows her stuff. Valuable if you want to stock a pantry properly.

This book is awesome! Luther makes beginning a pantry approachable even for the very beginner. Comprehensive information and what really stood out to me was her consideration of different food intolerances and food standards that readers may have. Although I am already 2 years deep into maintaining my own pantry, I feel that I can recommend this book to others looking to do the same from now on!

A good book for beginners.
You could call it a "philosophy on why to be prepared" with practical helps throughout the book. She does have some helpful recipes in the back, especially helpful if you don't cook a lot and could use some ideas.

Good clear reading

Her breakdown on what was needed and how to go about organizing everything was great and helped me think about what and how to go about it! Helpful for anyone to help get started.

This book is a provides important, but non-hysterical, preparedness information which I feel is so important in this post-Covid world with supply and labor shortages everywhere. I especially enjoyed that Ms. Luther doesn't just spout warnings of danger- she gives a very detailed method to get anyone started at any economic level.
If you are looking to build a more prepared pantry or for the reasons of why we all should, this is the book for you.

If you can ignore the rhetoric sprinkled throughout, this is a well organized easy to read nonfiction book on food storage and safety.

I wish there was a picture. It's dark green with a white font for the title.

I was impressed. The author described the different type of preppers. What foods are best to grow, purchase, can, dehydrate.....

All the grocery story pandemonium of the COVID pandemic led me get this book digitally from the library. It seems like it would be perfect for someone in the author's shoes (struggling out of poverty to get enough food in the pantry to create a sense of adequate food). While much of the book was a little intense for me (extreme couponing, sealing food in plastic), I found it a really interesting read, and I learned something that I imagine everyone else already knew: there is arsenic in rice. And I googled to find out what to do about it. Apparently rice sucks up the arsenic from the ground so rice has arsenic in it and brown rice (my favorite) has more than white rice (which also has a lot). Rinsing the rice is about as efficacious in reducing arsenic levels as wishing aloud for the arsenic levels to decrease. The way to get a bunch of the arsenic out is to cook the rice in a BUNCH of water - like it's pasta. Then drain out the excess water - thus dumping a bunch of the arsenic down the drain. Few books actually alter something I do in my life, and this book gets points for changing how I will make my rice going forward.

Edit to this review: Cooking rice with 6 parts water in a rice cooker creates an impressive volcano of rice sludge all over the kitchen counter.
