"Twenty years ago, Faiola made her first batch of soap. What began
as a hobby turned into a successful business selling both handmade
soap and soapmaking supplies. In her first book, Faiola provides a
comprehensive guide to producing cold-process soap. After a brief
overview of the chemistry of soapmaking, she dives into supplies
and safety and provides a basic recipe for crafters who can't wait
to get started. Once novices have a few batches of soap under their
belts, they can try one of the 30 variations described. Each recipe
includes step-by-step directions and photographs. Further
information, including videos of the soapmaking process, is
available at the author's website.VERDICTFaiola's enthusiasm for
her subject is apparent, and with her guidance, beginners will
easily take to this craft."
