Green Living Made Easy

I’m a huge Great British Bake Off fan and have seen them all. Nancy Birtwhistle is one of my favorites and her books are great! She tells you things you need to know. I am 72 and I am still learning from her. I love the fact that she believes in trying to do everything green. Everything I have tried both in cooking/baking or her cleaning/beauty routine recipes have worked for me. Her books aren’t big, fancy ones and I appreciate that. It took me a while to get it (price wise) but so glad I did. There are so many things in the book to help newbies and seasoned bakers. I definitely recommend her books to one and all.

I'm so happy I became aware of Nancy Birtwhistle while scrolling through Instagram. I've been following her for several months. She's delightful and every solution that I've tried has worked amazingly well! A white satin robe that I have tried many times to get the black off the cuffs and hem is FINALLY white as new again!! And the process was SO simple...just soak overnight, then wash as usual. As Nancy says, "Sorted!" The ingredients for her solutions are easy to find on Amazon. Some of the names are different from what we know them as in the US, but it's easy to clear that up by googling. For example, "surgical spirits" is rubbing alcohol. :) I can't recommend her and her books enough.

I watch Mrs. Birtwhistle on Facebook and she has such practical and useful advice. I decided this book should be a part of my stash of hardcover books for when the giant solar flares knock out the electric grid and I can’t charge my phone!

I absolutely love this book! I bought it because I follow Nancy on IG and appreciate all her advice and videos on cleaning things in the home. My favorite recipe in this book is the Pure Magic. We have hard water and Pure Magic cleans our toilet and makes it look new! I look forward to getting more of her books.

I watched Nancy on the British baking show and I love following her on Instagram. This book is a very handy reference and I'm enjoying it immensely. Nancy provides great options and solutions so that it's easy and cheap to be more green and better for the environment. And her formulas are so effective at cleaning and stain removal and all the things.

I like her story telling style, rather than a list of recipes. Very informal, informative and a pleasant read.

I’ve been following her on instagram for a while And I’ve tried some of her tis and every single time it’s a success. Sometimes she shares tips on her account and shares tags where a lot of people shows how grateful they are. You won’t be disappointed with this book. And it’s a great gift as well.

A great read with interesting tidbits and examples of what the author has done to go more eco-friendly. With each chapter there’s a new area to consider about where you can go more “green” with simple changes. Who knew I’d sit down and read this book in one setting! Much to learn and put into action. Thank you Nancy!

Really enjoy using all the tips in this book. Some I was already aware of others are new to me. We should all try and be kinder to the environment and ourselves and this book helps with that.

This book should be a must in every home.

Brilliant book. So well written. Concise and too the point with a heavy dose of the wonderful down to earth and honest advice from Nancy Birtwhistle's experiments and trials to make her daily living more environmentally friendly, cheaper and free from harmful chemicals. What is not to like and indeed love. I was curious to see what Nancy's books were like as I have been nagged by the voice in my head saying that we shouldn't need a chemical arsenal under our sinks to keep our homes clean. It seems terrible to own all these bottles of chemicals purporting to kill this organism or that fungus without wondering just how harmful they are to us. I also had the problem of never being able to get the toilet bowl clean - used whole bottles of bleach and "super powerful" branded toilet cleaners, which still didn't clean the darn thing. Then decided to try vinegar, and found it worked over night, descaling and removing brown water marks. Eureka! I have ditched all the chemical warfare brands, plus it was way cheaper. So having this experience I realise Nancy might have some more ideas and indeed she does. Loads of them. Her "Pure Magic" cleaner is indeed pure magic. I use it not only for the toilet, but it is brilliant for laundry. She has such good simple advice, from how to remove stains from laundry, whiten those whites, clean glass, plus many many others.. the list goes on. I have found the ingredients for her mixes easy to find. Most hardware stores keep them in stock and they are quite cheap. Her "Pure Magic" cleaner does only take moments to make up and I store it in an reused, cleaned out, glass vinegar bottle. I attached a label on the bottle with the recipe written on it, so it is easy to remake when the bottle becomes empty. This book is a "must have". I have given it as a gift for someone who has just moved house and to students who have moved away from home and are starting their own budgets and cleaning routines. It is easy to read and follow and good to have on the kitchen shelf for those, "how should I clean this" moments. I have downloaded 3 of her books now and look forward to delving into the others. Well done Nancy Birtwhistle - I hope many others follow your advice and we all make the effort to help our environment be less chemically over dosed and safer for all living things.

Love this book

Love Nancy, great practical tips that same money and helps save the planet.
