When I saw the new book by Nancy Birtwhistle, Green Living made easy, I knew I had to have it.
Released in March 2022, this little book packs a punch with 101 Eco Tips, Hack and Recipes to save time and money - both of which we all need more of.
I have had this book for a month now and I'm approximately halfway through! It is jam-packed with articles on cooking, baking, cleaning and growing!
I have already made the pure magic cleaning product and used it, it did mean using citric acid which is a first for me, but it left the toilet sparkling clean. I am still a fan of white vinegar for general cleaning use, which I picked up from my sustainability course.
I have several pages marked as "must-do" such as making and storing my own stock for cooking, making hanging planters from plastic bottles for the garden and drying out my lavender.
I still have so much more to read in this book and see it now as a survival guide to an eco-friendly home rather than a one-off read. A must-have for every home.
An added bonus to this book is that Nancy Birtwhistle was the 2014 Great British Bake-off winner and has included some of her recipes. Priced at £14.99 this is certainly a book that will recover its costs in no time.
