This is Carol Bowen's sequel to her Basic Basics Combination and Microwave Handbook , and it follows the same formula as an A to Z compendium. The reader looks up the fruit, the vegetable, the fish, the meat, the sauces, cakes or herbs, and there are quick guidelines on freezing each type of food. The author also explains how a freezer works, gives advice on choosing and siting a freezer, insurance, cleaning, maintenance, what to do in emergencies, packaging and accessories, freezing techniques and de-frosting, refreezing and thawing as well as storage times.

She won the 'Cookery Book of the Year Award' for her ground-breaking book 'Versatile Vegetables' when bringing vegetables to the forefront of meal planning was in its infancy. A former Household and Cookery Editor for 'Homes & Gardens' magazine she has always been on the look-out for new ideas, trends and chasing the latest advice on cooking and eating well.
