Questions

Before you buy

Is it a printed book?

No, it's a PDF you download straight away. Print the whole thing at home, or just the recipes you want. You get both A4 and US Letter sizes.

How do I get it after I pay?

Payhip shows you the download link as soon as you've paid, and emails it to you as well, so you can download it again later.

Do I need a gas cooker?

Most of the meals need one gas ring, lit with a match if your hob's instructions say it can be. Others use a flask or a real fire, and five need no cooking at all. An electric hob won't work in a power cut, and nor will most new gas ovens.

I'm in America. Will it work for me?

Yes. There's a US Letter version, and every price is in dollars as well as pounds. The safety pages give the American numbers too.

What if I don't like it?

Email [email protected] within 30 days and you'll get your money back in full.

How do I pay?

By card, through Payhip's secure checkout. Your card details go to the payment company, never to us.
