Handmade soap is made extra-special with the addition of milk! Soaps enriched with milk are creamier than those made with water, and milk’s natural oils provide skin-renewing moisture and nourishment. In Milk Soaps, expert soapmaker Anne-Marie Faiola, author of Pure Soapmaking and Soap Crafting, demystifies the process with step-by-step techniques and 35 recipes for making soaps that are both beautiful and useful. She explains the keys to success in using a wide range of milk types,…
I love the comparison between hot chocolate made with milk versus water. It is a great analogy. I recently bought a blender to make nut butters and milks. I am glad I now have a use for the nut pulp after I make almond and oat milks. The photos are wonderful along with step-by-step instructions.
There are 35 recipes in the book, and I cannot wait to try them. Most of them have readily available ingredients. The exceptions are donkey and camel milks. The recipes with banana milk and split pea milk sound interesting. I have all of Anne-Marie’s books and found them to be very informative. This book did not disappoint. In fact, it stirred up my creative juices and made me want to make some soap.
