How To Wash The Dishes

"If you’re like me, you’ve probably washed more dishes in quarantine than any other time in your life. So how fortuitous that Peter Miller’s How to Wash the Dishes arrived on my doorstep the first week of March. It’s exactly what it sounds like, with chapters like: “Tools, Tricks, and Troublemakers” (never put your knives in soapy water), “Three Recipes from the Dishes’ Point of View” (how to make an omelet and have the dishes cleaned before you serve it) and “Quiet Villains and Unexpected Friends” (large bowls hog all the space in the sink – get them cleaned first). Read this little ode to dishwashing and you may never look at a pile of dirty dishes with despair again."
