Sally Strackbein thought her Year 2000 food storage program was almost complete when a January ice storm took her electricity away for two days. Living without electricity in a cold, all-electric home, was a real Y2K test. When she went to the pantry to get food for the family, she gagged. She found cans of beans, Spam, chili, turkey, vegetables and fruits. None of it was appealing enough to turn into a meal. The thought of surviving on what was in her pantry depressed her. Y2K Kitchen, The Book, is Sally's answer to the question, "What food do I buy and what do I do with it?" There are many other books on how to store whole wheat and rice and pack them so they will last for 10 years. Sally's book helps ordinary people prepare for the Year 2000, or any other emergency, by adding to their normal shopping lists. Not only does Y2K Kitchen, The Book, tell how to make tasty meals from canned food, it also answers the question, "What is the Year 2000 problem, and what does it mean to the average person?" The book is full of articles about Y2K, why everyone needs to prepare, how to talk your family and friends about Y2K, as well as loads of easy, practical and delicious recipes
