I was surprised by the amount of home management information in this book (because of the title, I was expecting a book strictly about cooking for the freezer). After I recovered from my surprise at the surprisingly different focus of the book, I found quite a bit of helpful information. Bond's book differs from other cooking for the freezer books because of it's emphasis on cooking in bulk for extended periods of time. Rather than cooking once a month, Bond's book can teach you how to cook twice a year! Not sure how I personally feel about cooking six months worth of food to store that long in the freezer, but her mega-cooking(TM) method is a valid and helpful alternative to frequent fast food for busy families on the go. If you don't mind a bit of preaching, you may really enjoy this book. Great charts too.
