Cinnamon Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My Mum bought me this book a few years ago,but I have only just got around to reading it "Sloe Gin & Beeswax" by Jane Newdick is wonderful. It is subtitled "seasonal redipes & hints from traditional household storerooms" & is sectioned by season. So today I have looked in the late summer section to see what I can be making with seasonal produce,or picking from the trees. It recommends Mariglod petal cheese,spiced melon pickle,Pot Pourris & Mustards. There are also recipes for face lotions,teas,beeswax wood polish,crystalised fruits & Eau De Cologne. I think it will be a book that a lot of you on here will really enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It's definitely a "Kate sort of book!" as my lot would say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I tried to buy it a little while ago, and placed an order with Amazon. They accepted the order, then kept me waiting about 2 months before cancelling the order with the explanation that it was now out of print and u"Ooops, word censored!"tainable (by them at least). I was really disappointed at the time because I'd heard a lot about the book (probably comments and recipes posted by SuperKate ) and I was quite keen to have a read of it myself. That said I just took Amazon's word for the out of print thing and never pursued it any further. Now you've gone and reminded me I might enquire at a booksellers and see if it is available any longer... or not. Otherwise it'll be keeping an eye out in 2nd hand book shops and the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
