Industry reviews
"I applaud Ms. Mendelson's brief for the home; since reading HOME COMFORTS, I have separated some laundry, reorganized a closet and cleaned out the drawers of my refrigerator, all definite improvements. Yet very few contemporary American families could attain Ms. Mendelson's lofty standards of housekeeping, and that's the psychological hurdle one must clear to enjoy this book." Crossen "But store-bought shortcuts and painfully executed projects won't work, says Cheryl Mendelson, author of HOME COMFORTS, a step-by-step guide to doing it the right way....Mendelson has put homemaking in its places, tackling the keeping and preparation of food and cloth, cleanliness, daily life, safe shelter, and rights and wrongs....COMFORTS is not a Heloise-style tricky-tips book. It simply tells you how to do the things you never knew how to do....HOME COMFORTS is the house what JOY OF COOKING is to food." USA Today - Katy Kelly (12/08/1999) "Sometimes Mendelson draws back just when you want her to get down to cases: sponges harbor bacteria, yes, but with exactly what should we wipe down our kitchen counters--one of the carefully sorted dish towels of which we should make profligate use (and then launder and iron)? But mostly she is as specific and direct as anyone could wish--or wish to escape--and manages both completeness and concision, especially when she takes obvious pleasure in the subject: planning, serving and cleaning up after meals and explaining their centrality to family life; sorting, washing and drying laundry, including ironing, which 'gratifies the senses.' Readers will have to keep in mind the author's initial assurances that you can't do it all--but here are instructions for whatever you do want to consider if you want to keep your house refreshed, sanitary and pleasant." New York Times - Corby Kummer (12/19/1999) "[A] vast, information-crammed new book....HOME COMFORTS belongs in as many households as its model, JOY OF COOKING--which is to say, about every American household....It is unified by one voice, that of a tireless researcher intent on covering every topic but more inspirational on the activities that truly capture her interest." New York Times Book Review - Corby Kummer (12/19/1999)
