I believe this book belongs in every kitchen to be used at will. signed...ethel weinberger

It was the authors section on grains that caught my attention as a vegetarian. Americans do not eat enough grains or know the wide variety of grains available. Oatmeal and cornmeal and some rices are about all that most people consume, unless they are from another country. Her advise that was common knowledge to our Moms and Grandmothers about how to handle food and store it safely is something families in 2001-2002 need to be reminded of. I also like her suggestions on how to grocery shop and to do the food shopping last before heading home. And keeping an ice chest in the car with cold packs in which to place items that need to stay cold.
