Description
Home: DIY Recipes for a Toxin-Free, Low-Waste Life is a compendium of eco-friendly tips, tricks and recipes for the home – including natural cleaning and body care products, as well as delicious plant-based food alternatives.
An updated edition of bestselling title, this book is a modern reference for anyone who wants to ditch their joyless supermarket habit, reduce plastic waste and save money ... and the world. With more than 60 recipes, chapters include: home; kitchen, bathroom; laundry; home; tools and rituals; and body, Home taps into people’s ever-growing awareness of the consequences their buying choices have on the environment – and the fact that sometimes small steps and buying decisions can help drive significant change. Every room of the house is considered in this book (stain remover in the laundry, shower cleaner in the bathroom, dishwashing liquid in the kitchen) and presents alternatives to store-bought cleaning products, as well as a comprehensive chapter on body care (from toothpaste to shampoo to foaming hand wash). Readers will also be treated to a handful of recipes for Harriet's favourite money-saving kitchen staples including oaty seed loaf, coconut yoghurt and pickled veg.
Home celebrates a slower, more frugal and thoughtful life – one that benefits not only the inhabitant of the home, but the world.

About the Author
Harriet Birrell is a qualified health coach and yoga teacher, and has studied plant-based nutrition at e-Cornell University. She is authentic, inspiring and on a mission to show people how easy (and fulfilling!) it can be to reduce waste and live a cleaner, toxin-free life. Based on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, Harriet started her food journey serving organic smoothies and raw desserts from a caravan on a bush block at Barwon Heads. This culminated in her first book, Natural Harry, the success of which led to Whole (driven by her equally passionate mission to celebrate the abundance of whole, colourful plant foods and recipes). When she is not cooking, or surfing, or tending her veggie patch with dog Fred by her side, she is busy working on her blog, hosting workshops and creating content designed to make people think.
