by Heather Solos
About the Book:
Home-Ec 101 is written by author and One2One Network Member Heather Solos.  In this book she shares tips and tricks for tackling the everyday challenges that can be found in and around the home. Heather has a blog called Home-Ec101.com. where you can find charts, tips, sidebars and tools you need to keep your home clean and in good repair.  The perfect manual for college grads to the more seasoned homemakers, this book has something to offer everyone. From the simplest how to's (ever meet a 20 year old who can't pre-heat an oven?) to how to be a fabulous host at your housewarming party, Heather's advice is relevant for homeowners and apartment dwellers of any age and the advice is easy to apply and is written with the same witty style and attitude readers love on her blog everyday. 
My Review:
Although I only got to preview of a portion of the book, I can definitely tell that this is a book that will become one of the classics in Home Economics.  Written in a understandable and updated language but carrying the classic feel of a Home-Ec manual.  I found many wonderful and easy to prepare meals and menus as well as good advice in a variety of subjects.  The book is broken down into 4 sections that are each packed with essential knowledge and practical advice that can make maintaining your home very easy.  I highly recommend this for the newlywed couple or the college grad setting up their first home and I think I want a copy for each of my kids!
Need some practical Home-Ec 101 advice, you can get Heather Solo's Home-Ec 101:Skills for Everyday Living from Amazon HERE as well as Barnes & Noble HERE.  Check it Out!
