Christine Hohlbaum, an ex-pat living in Germany, has a delightful blog at http://diaryofamother.blogs.com/ called Mama’s Musings.  Earlier this month she posted a quick and very flattering review of our book.  Here’s an excerpt from Mother Nature Knows Best:

Despite the mantra of the 1950’s when Father Knew Best, we all know Mama’s the one holding the apron strings. The wisdom of mothers’ hands has been passed down from one generation to the next, through food, spices, herbs and home-made medicines better than any pharmaceutical solution. If you’ve ever tasted my mother-in-law’s homemade chicken soup with the ickiest cold since time memorial, you’ll know –Mama really does know best.

Mamas_home_remediesMama’s Home Remedies: Discover Time-Tested Secrets of Good Health and the Pleasures of Natural Living is a tribute to the old wives’ wisdom that transcends modernity. It will inspire you to reach for your vegetable pantry before you head for the pharmacy. Among other things, the instrinsic magic of beets, potatoes, and wine grape leaves are revealed in these pages. Written by Svetlana Konnikova who grew up in the vineyards of Moldova, this book tells us to return to our roots – literally.

Thanks, Christine!  Read more of the review, and don’t miss the rest of Christine’s charming writing by visiting Mama’s Musings.
