“Keep Edinburgh Growing” Gold winner Fall into a good book this autumn


The Dutch House – Ann Patchett


This is a book about the bond between siblings, the repercussions of past events that echo down the years and the attachment people can feel for a place. In this case, the place is a big, grand house, and the siblings are Danny and his big sister, Maeve. Their mother flees when Danny is just a toddler, leaving Maeve to step into her shoes. When the children gain a stepmother, they soon learn they’re not welcome in their own home and the future they had planned comes tumbling down. A beautifully written, gentle book, The Dutch House is one to savour.

From batch-cooking to making the most of leftovers, plus plenty of quick and simple recipes, Time to Cook is a treasure trove of ideas. Enjoy Harissa Bean Pizza for brunch (with just ten minutes hands-on time), followed by One Tray Peanut Chicken for dinner and Caramelized Biscuit Traybake for pudding.

It’s Vintage, Darling! How to be a Clothes Connoisseur – Christa Weil


Rebelling against fast fashion? This book will help you to embrace vintage clothing. You’ll learn how to recognise quality craftsmanship, identify different types of materials, cuts and designs, and choose clothes that look like they’ve been tailor- made for you, as well as finding out what to check for before buying, and much, much more.

How to Create your Garden – Adam Frost

Come autumn, the garden is a bit easier to manage, so it’s a good time to start planning for next year. This book is packed with practical advice, from designing walkways to revitalising borders and building water features. Step-by-step instructions, bright photos and illustrations, and an easy-going writing style make the process of garden design all the more enjoyable.
