Title: Looking To Make Soap? Be Prepared To Have Problems
Review: Well, I'm a beginner at soap making, and this book wassupposed to substitute for the lack of soap making classes in my area. I am very dissappointed. The author assumes that everyone who cooks makes everything from scratch, not boxes with packets of seasoning the way I do. Tell me, does anyone use double-boilers these days, and a mortar and pestle?I've never heard of these "common" everyday cooking utensils before this book. Second,essential oils are VERY costly, (especially rose, and jasmine) so if you don't carry lavendar, sweet orange, lemon oil, lemongrass, lime oil, cedarwood, etc..be prepared to spend a lot of money.The saving grace for this book is that it shows you the basics for making whipped cream soap, and luckily you do NOT need to use any of the ingredients for the sixty soap recipes in this book.You can use any essential oil for that. I therefore give this book a 1.
