Review by: MApgar
This was a big surprise in an overpriced bad title. Don't buy this,
because it isn't worth $50. Just read it. It is a collection of old
school household hints of all kinds and varieties - from where to plant
what,
where to store produce, seasonal recipes, cleaning methods and tricks
with common at home items, sort of like a giant 'Hints from Heloise'
sort of thing with lots of pictures of flowers in the background.
Usually I get these for what I call the 'huppie' effect
- yuppie hippie decorators thinking they're above their readers showing
nothing but pretty pictures and hysterically vapid text - which is why
granted the title I thought that this would be frankly, kind of funny.
But it wasn't really French. Or chic.
