by Cheryl Mendelson (Author)
A huge critical and popular success in the US, HOME COMFORTS has established itself as the book that no household should be without. Its scope is truly comprehensive - from setting the table to folding sheets, from the bedroom's ideal humidity to choosing a cookbook, from baking to bacteria - no subject within the realms of domesticity has been left untouched. 'HOME COMFORTS in its own way, is revolutionary. Nothing quite this Beetonesque has been published in decades it is a manifesto in praise and defence of the home' - Daily Telegraph 'A delight, the book reads like a physiological, updated edition of Mrs Beeton' - The Times 'An extraordinary achievement that has no peer in this century and may well have none in the next' - Newsweek 'With breathtaking comprehensiveness, every domestic task you might have thought of - and many you will not -Ois explained sensibly, lucidly and in mesmerising detail' - Daily Telegraph 'HOME COMFORTS is riveting. Wonderful even...the book is packed with genuinely useful, even fascinating information...no truly comfortable house should be without a copy' - Literary Review
