'The book I’ve waited all my life for' – Kirstie Allsopp Review: Great buy - Great buy Review: Clean and green money savings at home - I follow Nancy on instagram and love her down to earth natural approach. First saw her on the Great British Bake-off with her yummy old school recipes. Heads up to Americans, this book is British so sometimes her terms are different and you may have to get her ingredients as locally hard to find. Recipes are in metrics, she talks about green bleach and surgical spirit (rubbing alcohol) and washing soda is what we call baking soda. I have made several of her recipes and working towards an eco friendly home and garden. My biggest savings so far is making her home made laundry detergent and softener.Lots of info here about replacing all the chemical products in your home for clean ones and saving money. Handy index and notes section at back of book. Great starter book for the home, now I need to get the Gardening one and getting rid of the chemicals there, it’s a great little reference book, easy to follow!
