Thank you very much for that information!

We have had a dehydrator for just over a year and have made beef jerky, candied peel, yoghurt leather and apple leather with it (the apple leather can be made with the pulp left after extracting the juice for apple jelly so is very economical) as well as drying herbs and fruit. Ours is an Excalibur with four trays which is about the right size for us, I think the one in the show is the same make. When we researched online we found that the best dehydrators have thermostats as different temperatures are required for different foods. The dehydrator is supplied with fine mesh sheets suitable for some jobs but for the samosa wrappers you will definitely also need the Paraflex sheets, these are re-usable smooth lining sheets. The dehydrator is supplied with a recipe book and there are loads more online including funny and informative videos on You Tube for beef jerky. Hope that helps!

I was totally inspired by Chris's food preparations. It looked really fabulous and I would love to re-recreate some of those recipes. I would very much appreciate if you could forward some more info on food dehydrators, i.e. the make and possibly some more recipes. Thanks!
