The time-tested advice you never learned in school for getting back to basics and running a healthy, happy, sustainable household. Back in the day, young people (well, young women) used to learn life skills like budgeting, cleaning, mending, and meal planning in their home economics classes. But nowadays, we' re just supposed to figure it out for ourselves. It' s no wonder many of us feel a little lost. This Modern House compiles real lessons from early- to mid-20th-century home economics textbooks to finally give everyone (not just young women!) the household management training you never got in school. In this essential collection of proven wisdom and practical advice, you' ll find everything you need to know about shopping frugally, cooking nutritiously, reducing waste, cleaning with natural products, and managing a household like an adult-whether you' re renting your first apartment or establishing a family home. Previously published in 2010 as Home Economics, this fully updated version includes a new introduction and improved advice on cooking and canning.
