Homemaking and Housekeeping by Vivienne Bolton is out now!

Homemaking and Housekeeping: Forgotten Wisdom for Modern Times celebrates the rites and rituals that for centuries have marked the seasons around the world, from natural spring cleaning to the planting of seeds, through the summer months where home and garden can be enriched with floral and edible bounty, from rose petal pot pourri to fresh herb cheeses; in the autumn, harvest time offers an abundance of preserving, pickling and drying, while winter brings remedies for sore throats, recipes for steamed puddings and instructions on how to make candles.

This updated classic is out now with Octopus.
