This is one of the most complete books I’ve ever seen on preparing and attacking a project. Many people have a book or a folder or a pile or even a document with family recipes, but this book is a guide on how to make a treasured heirloom for generations to come. It covers so many different bases, such as working with people or working with yourself, interviews, researching recipes and allowing them to evolve, binding ideas, etc. It is almost overwhelming how much information is included. That being said, one of the best part about instructional books like this is you can take your vision and search through a book for tips, instructions, and ideas. I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to put together a really special family cookbook.

It's always great to see new how-to books available, I enjoy leafing through them to see what hints and tips I can pick up, this one was an eye opener in as much as it is not for the real beginner. This book would sit well on the shelf of a more intermediate drawer and whilst it does cover basic equipment information the artwork examples and techniques could be off-putting to a beginner or less skilled but very enthusiastic individual. The quality of the instruction is good and allows for you to work through at your own pace although some stages did jump a little on and you needed to have covered all the material previously in order to get it.
Overall, this is generally a good book to have if you are into Manga and enjoy spending time submerged in drawing and creation.

Hand Made: The Modern Woman's Guide to Made-from-Scratch Living by Melissa K. Norris is a beautiful book. The book is part memoir and part cook book. The book looks at ways to make things homemade and the wisdom of the Depression era that can help make recipes simpler.

I enjoyed this book because the author shares recipes that had been handed down to her. The recipes were easy and adaptable. There were some good tips on growing herbs and suggestions for kitchen organization. The book also contains recipes for making soap and candles. 

I highly recommend this book for those that enjoy making things from scratch or want to learn to do it more often. Melissa Norris includes personal stories and some scripture in some parts of the book that I enjoyed reading as well.

I received this book from Harvest House Publishers via NetGalley.
