What to do when there is no power for cooking after a disaster, fresh food is not available, has been used up or has spoiled?
Disaster relief workers know: preparation is the best precaution!
That is why the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and important aid organizations have started a large recipe competition.
The goal was to collect creative dishes that are suitable for use in crises: preparation should also be possible in the event of a prolonged power outage, if the water supply fails at the same time and fresh food is no longer available.
The best 50 recipes were selected from over 500 submitted suggestions and prepared in this book together with many important tips and information from experts for the citizens.
A book that should not be missing in any household!
