Homemaking and Housekeeping

Homemaking and Housekeeping 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 potpourri 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.
