Easy yet delicious winter recipes and treats that introduce young
readers to local and seasonal eating. From berry cookies, to hot cocoa
recipes to warm up after a winter walk, the easy-to-make recipes will
inspire kids to get into the kitchen.
-
Suggestions for using up unloved parts of produce, such as carrot
tops to make a kitchen windowsill garden, demonstrate a naturally
zero-waste way of living.
-
Accessible and fun crafts, such as making salt-dough ornaments and
foraged foliage wreaths, have instructions broken down into clear
steps illustrated in AnneliesDraws' cute and wholesome style.
-
The seasonal gardening and growing projects, such as planting bare
root berry bushes in the ground or in containers, can be done in a big
back yard or on a balcony, making this eco-friendly activity book a
fun resource, whether readers are based in town or country.
Woven alongside the cooking, crafting, and planting projects are little
snippets of seasonal information and self-sufficient wisdom from
homesteading teacher Angela Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, with a
focus on enjoying and celebrating the best of what the winter season has
to offer.
