Vinegar - not just for chips!

I love a good splash of malt vinegar on my fish and chips, but the uses of vinegar extends to more than flavouring this British seaside favourite.

It's a well-known fact that vinegar is great for cleaning windows, and Vinegar - 1001 Practical Uses, by Margaret Briggs, cover this and lots of not so well-known uses too. With a useful intro on different types of vinegar and the various methods of production the book is pretty much an exhaustive list of the many, many uses of this humble product. It's split into chapters such as 'In the Laundry' and I guarantee there'll be something in this book that surprises you - I never knew that adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water makes hard-boiled eggs easier to peel!
