The Prepper's Cookbook is an excellent resource and foundation that covers many topics of preparation. Especially helpful for the seeker and the new-to-prepping, however, there are great ideas for even the seasoned prepper.

—Real Food Living

It's more than a cookbook. It's also a handy guide for beginning preppers who have wondered, "So what do I actually do with all this extra food I'm buying?"

—The Survival Mom

STOCK YOUR PANTRY TO SURVIVE ANY DISASTER

When a catastrophic collapse cripples society, grocery store shelves will empty within days. But if you follow this book's plan for stocking, organising and maintaining a proper emergency food supply, your family will have plenty to eat for weeks, months or even years, with meals such as:

French Toast
Black Bean Soup
Chicken Pot Pie
Beef Stroganoff
Fish Tacos
Potatoes Croquette
Asian Ramen Salad
Quinoa Tabouli
Rice Pilaf
Buttermilk Biscuits
Peach Cobbler

Packed with tips for off-grid cooking, canning charts for over 20 fruits and vegetables, and checklists for the best emergency pantry items, The Prepper's Cookbook will have you turning shelf-stable, freeze-dried and dehydrated foods into delicious, nutritious dishes your family will love eating.
