"Learn how to quickly and easily make mustard, vinegar and barbecue sauce from scratch. These condiments and many other kitchen staples don't need to come from a bottle or package." That book marketing description right there has got me excited to read this. I dream of a world with few things that come in boxes with cartoon animals on them (What the heck does that have to do with toilet paper anyway?), bottles and PLASTIC. I know...so granola of me huh? I still use zip-lock and seran wrap so don...more
Girlfriend makes her own mustard, butter, tortillas from scratch!
I didn't know you could make your own butter, so I'll try that and the Italian Pickled Veggies this week.
The Porridge section made me really excited! I'll try that too.
The hardcover version is very beautiful.

This was a Christmas present from my mom since I apparently use "DIY" in my every-day lingo. It was more of a joke but I did enjoy flipping through. There are some yummy looking recipes, especially the homemade ketchup and other condiments.
Lots of great recipes for the food D.I.Y'er. Very accessible for beginners, but with enough variation to appeal to those with experience as well. While building my D.I.Y. pantry, I'll be using this book a whole, whole lot.
I didn't read it cover to cover. A lot of dairy involved, but I like the idea of making everything from scratch, including cheese, yogurt, etc. Great photographs. I may revisit.
Awesome book I came across by chance, and now have a great rescource book for making my own kitchen staples!
What's cookin', good lookin'?

I don't the ebook format works all that great for cookbooks, at least not on my little phone. At least, it doesn't lend itself to browsing. I did make -- and enjoy! -- one recipe, a noodle salad that made a good lunch.
Finally! People who cook the way my mother did, and just as tasty! Clear, easy to follow recipes for basics that build wonderful meals. If I could only have one cookbook, this would be it.
