5.0 out of 5 stars Heloise Rocks! Great Value, October 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Kitchen with Heloise (Hardcover)

this book is wonderful. I love the recipes, but it's also the hints about cleaning up and getting things done fast that have really helped me. The good info on food buying and storing will really help me save money. My kids like the quick fun food hints and I love the way she shares info. She's your friend, and I can understand the hints she is telling us. Plus, I laugh at some of them too. I am giving this to all my friends for Christmas. It's just the best and what a bargin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heloise Does It Again!!, October 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Kitchen with Heloise (Hardcover)

Just like her other books, Heloise gives great and easy-to-mimic solutions to everyday problems/occurances. She tackles it all! For example, she gives an honest health-related reason why you should not seperate an egg using its shell, then gives you a new way of doing it (using a slotted spoon). That is just one of the many, many hints that she gives and I have tried and now pass on to others to use! In short: great book, can't say enough good things about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for Heloise!, September 4, 2011

This review is from: In the Kitchen With Heloise (Paperback)

I bought this book because I tweet kitchen and cooking tips @cynthiacooks using #CBKitTip and this has been a great resource for me. Although I don't use the tips straight from the book, it stimulates a forgotten tip or I can use Heloise's tip and then elaborate using my own specific knowledge. Along the way I learn a lot too! The books is somewhat outdated (first printing 11 years ago) and that's why I gave it only 4 stars, but that could also be why the price was exceedingly reasonable. Overall the book is quite helpful with recipes that make one think of how Grandmother cooks. Delicious and comforting!
