The Hands-On Home by Erica Strauss – Item of the Day
Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is The Hands-On Home by Erica Strauss. Erica of course is a one of the most popular members of our expert council so her book is what you’d expect from Erica, fing fantastic!
Erica designed this book to be the ultimate guide on the DIY home. There are over 100 recipes, tips, and inspirational ideas in this great book. It covers everything from cooking, canning and preserving to making your own nontoxic home and personal care products.
Over half of the book focuses on the kitchen with a wealth of information about how to organize and stock your kitchen to more effortlessly prepare delicious meals. Erica is a former professional chef who knows how to build flavor into simple and delicious home-cooked meals.
She also includes details on Basic Food Preservation techniques such as water-bath canning, pressure canning, and lacto-fermentation along with a handy year-long food preservation calendar of what to put up when.
You guys know Erica from her appearances on the air, she is extremely knowledgeable and always super prepared. So you just know her book has got to be awesome, how awesome, one review on Amazon is titled,
“The mayo recipe alone is worth it…but really, this book is amaze-balls.”
I am not sure what that actually means but if you read the full review by N. Stoddard you will see that she was very excited about it. In fact you won’t find a bad review on this book, not one, 109 reviews with 4.8 stars overall. But what else would we expect from Erica. So check out The Hands-On Home by Erica Strauss and if you have not done so yet add it to your kindle or your book shelf.
