Book Review of Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life

Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life
Helpful Score: 4


this book has been a disappointment to ssome extent . i expected a how-to book , but got a memoir and autobiography . although the story is funny and facinating to some extent , its not what i thought it would be . instructions /recipies [ 6 all together ] are limited to non-existant . yes it gives ideas on how to get started , but those ideas are VERY basic . it will get a green beginner/absolute no clue novice started , but dont expect miracles . the best part [ as in most helpful ] of the book are the limited listings of websites , books and other resources in the back of the book . if you are looking for an idea book , how to book this would not be a book for you . if you like some light reading and at the same time get s slight mental nudge to get you interested , it will be a book for you .
