Product Description

Vinegar is inexpensive, safe and 100 percent natural, and nearly every household has a bottle tucked away somewhere, but few people ever take advantage of its full potential. Yes, it's great for dying Easter eggs and making salad dressing, but there's so much more it can do. In Vim & Vinegar, Melodie Moore tells all. Here are hundreds of tips to help readers tenderize meats, soup up soups, eradicate odor, firm fish fillets, cut grease, ease arthritis, cure cramps and more. Versatile vinegar also does wonders for flavoring food (plus, it has no fat or calories), and readers will be amazed at the range of tasty recipes, which include such treats as Vinegar Pie, Crazy Cake and Vinegar Hard Candy.

For tightwads, environmental activists, health advocates and curious cooks -- in fact, anyone who appreciates good old American ingenuity -- Vim & Vinegar is the perfect book.

Customer Reviews

Too much ammonia, not needed food recipes
I bought this book for the purpose of making home-made(safer than store-bought) cleansers. Most of her cleaning recipes call for ammonia-which is not good for your health. It talks about how to make different vinegars, which is acceptable although I don't think I would make my own. But I do not understand why she included food recipes that call for some(2-3tbs) vinegar.(Sloppy Joes, BBQ hamburger,etc) There are plenty other cookbooks for these types of recipes.

A WONDERFUL BOOK TO READ AND USE EVERYDAY!!
I LOVED IT.. SO MUCH INFORMATION AND USES THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO LOVES SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT DOES SO MUCH!!!!

OUR HAIR LOOKS GREAT, AND MY SHOWER SPARKLES..
THANKS VIM AND VINEGAR!!!!!

A "must have" for every household.
The receipe for the Kitchen Grease-Cutting Cleaner is worth the cost of this book. Whether you need to remove set-in stains in vintage clothing or clean a mildewed shower curtain, this book has lots of great ideas that really work. It even has suggestions for losing weight! Well, we'll see.
