Work & Family Bookshelf - Recommended Books

The books listed here have not been chosen lightly. Many of them are titles from my home library. I have had every edition of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" by the Boston Women's Health Collective. I recommend any home business book written by Sarah and Paul Edwards, their books have guided me through many phases of my present home based business. I think of them as trusted advisors.

Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen) I just received my new BH&G cook book and as always the first thing I look for is the Peanut Brittle. I never make this but I do remember my mother making it. We (children) waited with washed, buttered hands to pull and stretch the cooling brittle. If you could only afford one cook book this would be the one to buy. It has everything from simple basics to high-end gourmet products information and recipes for all ocassions.
