Not for the novice but an excellent book

This is one of my all time favorite books on making soap simply because anyone who owns goats or other livestock for milk, will find yet another way to put the best milk in the world to good use. This isn't for someone just starting out or for someone who lacks a sense of adventure or understands that trial and error are part of the journey be it making soap, dipped candles, canning, sewing etc.......

Best jump start on first making soap yet

The best introduction to soap making I have read. Clear instructions tells what to expect and what can go wrong. Clear list of materials not only for milk soap but for regular soaps too. Clearly written by someone who has made alot of soap.

Informative and detailed, a great resource!

I loved the history, details, explainations and recipies. Her blender method is described in a step by step manor. It may have an "extra step" above what is needed for regular soaps, but the reasoning is explained in specifics. It may seem "hard" but it takes no longer that making regular soap once you have done it a few times, and the resulting bars of creamy soap are worth it! A must read for those who want to branch into milk soaps! She even has a section that breaks down cost and pricing your soap for resale! Very helpful
