so are the samosas really sposed to have 6 tbsp of curry, or did the curry repeat on you?! ;)
i am wondering if there is any way to make this without the dehydrator ... do you think the very low oven thing would work?

thanks chica ... i also need to work out the fahrenheit/celsius thing, cos i am assuming all the dehydrator temps are in fahrenheit? (and my oven is celsius)
that looks fab AND my boyfriend gave me that book for xmas.
yay!
Oh I hope you enjoy some of his recipes, alissa... so far we've really enjoyed the Avocado Kale Salad on p.227...although I made a note to put a pinch rather than a teaspoon of salt, and to add an extra 1/2 teasp of lemon... then it was perfecto...although tastebuds are all different. Also enjoyed the Mexican Burritos on p. 176

Hi tie-dyed doula,
Excalibur 9 tray all the way... especially with a timer. It's the brand known for consistency of airflow and great results. While there must be other good brands, this is the one most raw foodists go with. They also have a 5 tray, but you would find, I think, that you miss the extra trays, since it takes hours to dehydrate something, and you would be best off to time things at the same time instead of waiting for tray space.
I dehydrate in my oven all the time. The manual for it tells how to do it. As long as it's a convection oven (one with a fan) it will work. The lowest temp the oven will go to and I leave it propped open just a tad. I have made raw crackers, raw pizza crusts, dehydrated fruit. I dehydrate onions in the fall for use later in the season. Hope this helps
