Summary: You've got to be KIDDDING me!
Review: Wow! What a terrible book! Who is comfortable handling lye (which the author admits can ruin metal, wood, clothes, etc., and she advises you to wear goggles and rubber gloves to handle); can find obscure ingredients like finely ground pumice, sweet almond oil, powdered kelp, frankincense powder and vitamin E oil at their local supermarket; wants to give up an enamel or stainless steel cooking pot and two plastic pitchers forever (you can't use it for anything else after you put lye in it); and has two spare candy thermometers handy? Not I. I will find another soap book. Thank goodness I borrowed this one from the library first. Sheesh.
