A collection of traditional crafts that have been translated into modern pursuits. Bringing together excerpts from old cookery books and notions for using herbs, spices, flowers and fruit around the home, the book has been compiled to share the household hints of a bygone era. Illustrated throughout, the book features handicrafts for freshening and decorating the home, and a cornucopia of recipes. The reader can recreate Grandma's world with tussie-mussies, flower-filled pillows and sweet-scented candles as well as four herbs vinegar, honeysuckle syllabub and lavender tart. There are numerous uses for produce from the garden. Food can be enhanced by the flavours of some carefully chosen herbs. Leaves and flowers combine in effective beauty products just like Grandma used to make. By the author of "Lavender", "Strawberries", "Love Potions" and "Mother Knows Best".
