USA Today: "But store-bought shortcuts and painfully executed projects won't work, says Cheryl Mendelson, author of HOME COMFORTS, a step-by-step guide to doing it the right way....Mendelson has put homemaking in its places, tackling the keeping and preparation of food and cloth, cleanliness, daily life, safe shelter, and rights and wrongs....COMFORTS is not a Heloise-style tricky-tips book. It simply tells you how to do the things you never knew how to do....HOME COMFORTS is the house what JOY OF COOKING is to food." |
