| Review |
| "This
is a handy book for beginners in life's approach to
cooking and household maintenance. the back cover says,
"This book tells you what you should have learned
from your mother but never did." Too true among many
younger persons today (and mostly their own fault). These
basic preparations are in narrative style (a good format
to set the novice at ease and install confidence), and
economy and leftovers are emphasized. For instance, there
is a good bread pudding recipe with ideas for variations.
the 25 pages devoted to the house concern mainly clothes
(sewing, ironing, washing, maintenance) and floors. 250
basic recipes plus variations - recommended " -

For example, anyone can follow a recipe for making a particular cake, but what is the basic recipe for making cakes? This book gives you the basics first and then gives examples. This book tells all you need to get you going and tells you how to do it from scratch:
And much, much, more... |
