RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE BAKEWELL Don’t be fooled by the name of this cake; it is merely a nod to the British Bakewell style, and actually has its roots in the rather fancy French friand, a small cake famed for its unusually dense yet somehow light and tender texture. Many years ago, we made them in our café, and somewhere along the line we decided to squeeze all that continental classiness into a traybake, so we bent it to our will and the result is a rather tasty Anglo-French slab of sustenance. Perfect for an end-of-summer picnic with a glass of something crisp and cold, or a flask of tea. 250g (9oz) soft butter 375g (13¼oz) caster (superfine) sugar 8 medium eggs 250g (9oz) ground almonds 210g (7½oz) plain (all-purpose) flour 1 teaspoon salt 200g (7oz) white chocolate chips (see notes) 250g (9oz) fresh raspberries 75g (2½oz) flaked almonds

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/350°F/gas 6 and line your 22 x 33 x 5cm (8½ x 13 x 2in) baking tray (sheet pan), see page 000. Beat the softened butter and sugar together until combined and light in colour. Next, add the eggs and beat until fully combined and emulsified, then add the ground almonds, flour and salt. Mix until fully combined – there’s no need to beat this furiously, just enough to create a smooth batter. Add the white chocolate chips and raspberries to the mixing bowl and fold through so they’re evenly dispersed. Keep mixing until ripples of pink raspberry juice begin to appear, but don’t break up the raspberries too much, as you do want some bigger bursts of fruit. Pour the mixture into your lined tray and spread it out evenly using a spatula. Finally, sprinkle the flaked almonds evenly across the top and place in the oven. Bake for 45–55 minutes. You’re looking for a lovely light golden caramelisation to the cake and the flaked almonds. Leave to cool in the tray for at least 15 minutes, then remove from tray and dust with icing (confectioner’s) sugar before serving while still a little warm. This will keep for 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. There’s no reason why this recipe wouldn’t work with blackberries or other soft fruits of the same ilk. If you can’t get hold of white chocolate chips, put white chocolate buttons in a food processor and blitz to create little shards: you want the pieces to be relatively small.

BASIC BAKES

CHERRY BROWNIE When we first heard about pink ruby chocolate, it made us feel a little nauseous, and reminded us of all those ghastly fondant icings we were once so opposed to. But after a little education, we realized it’s not a contrived colouring: it’s a naturally pink and fruity chocolate. We thought it was a fun way to add some colour to a brownie and ricochet off the cherry bomb of flavour. TO MAKE THE BROWNIE 200g (7oz) fresh cherries, pitted and chopped 1 heaped tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch) 350g (12oz) dark chocolate, broken into small pieces 350g (12oz) butter 280g (9¾oz) caster (superfine) sugar 5 medium eggs 300g (10½oz) ground almonds 1 teaspoon cocoa powder 1 teaspoon salt TO MAKE THE TOPPING 180g (6¼oz) ruby chocolate 150g (5¼oz) whole fresh cherries, pitted, or 25g (1oz) freeze-dried 5g (¼oz) pink peppercorns

GLUTEN FREE

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan/320°F/gas 4 and line your 22 x 33 x 5cm (8½ x 13 x 2in) baking tray (sheet pan), see page 000 To make the brownie, place the chopped cherries in a bowl with the cornflour (cornstarch) and stir to coat. This will help to thicken their juices when cooking. Set aside. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bain-marie (see page 000). Once melted, pour into the bowl of your stand mixer and add the sugar. Mix for a short while to allow the sugar to dissolve a little. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat in the eggs until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy and emulsified. Add the ground almonds, cocoa and salt and mix until fully combined, then gently fold in the chopped cherries. Transfer the mixture to your lined tray and bake for 35–40 minutes until the brownie is just set, but still has a little wobble in the middle. Leave to cool in the tray. Once the brownie has cooled, you can make the tempered pink chocolate topping. Melt two thirds of the ruby chocolate in a bain-marie, stirring constantly. As soon as it’s melted, remove the bowl from the heat and add the remaining ruby chocolate to the bowl and stir to melt. Scatter the cherries directly over the top of the brownie, then use a fork to quickly drizzle thin lines of the melted ruby chocolate over the top. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle over the pink peppercorns. Best eaten cool. This will keep for four days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Ruby chocolate is expensive and can be a little hard to find. White chocolate will look great and still taste good with the cherry flavour.

CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT CELEBRATION CAKE Serves 12-15

• 300g (1⅓ cups) butter, plus extra, softened, for greasing • 300g (1½ cups) caster (superfine) sugar • 5 medium eggs • 225g (1¾ cups) gluten-free selfraising (self-rising) flour • ¼ tsp xanthan gum • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder • 140g (5oz) ground almonds • 165ml (2/3 cup) milk • 40g (1½oz) unsweetened cocoa powder • 100g (3½oz) chocolate chips For the icing • 55g (¼ cup) butter • 75g (2½oz) dark chocolate • 100g (scant ¾ cup) icing (confectioners’) sugar, sifted • Gluten-free sprinkles

Prep 20 mins + Cook 55 mins

You know I said earlier I like to sneak in doughnut-related bakes wherever I can?! Well, here I am again, baking a cake in the shape of a doughnut! This chocolate cake recipe is one of the easiest you’ll find and a bundt tin makes any cake look impressive, I think – just make sure you prepare the tin well! The icing is glossy, the cake is chocolatey and moist; basically you need to make this cake and no, you don’t need a reason to. Just do it (it is a great celebration cake though!). 1 Preheat your oven to 160°C fan (320°F fan). Grease a 22cm (8½in) bundt tin with softened butter, and dust over a mixture of flour and cocoa powder. or use cake-release spray. 2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the rest of your ingredients except the chocolate chips and mix using an electric hand mixer, to combine. Fold in your chocolate chips. 3 Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40–50 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave for 10 minutes in the tin before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. 4 To make the icing, melt together the butter and chocolate in a medium bowl. Gradually add the icing sugar. It will become quite thick. Gradually mix in enough boiling water for the icing to turn glossy, and a thick, pourable consistency. 5 Spoon the icing over the cake so it gently drips down the sides – it shouldn’t be so runny that it completely drips off. Sprinkle with colourful sprinkles and enjoy. TIP If you don’t have a bundt tin, no worries: this cake is amazing as a loaf cake, just reduce the eggs to 3 and the other ingredients scaled down accordingly. Bake for 50 minutes in a 950g (2lb) loaf tin (pan).

ONE-POT CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA Serves 2-3 Prep + Cook 25 mins

• 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil • 400g (14oz) chicken breast fillet, chopped into 2.5cm (1in) chunks • 1 red (bell) pepper, chopped into 2.5cm (1in) chunks • 400g (14oz) canned chopped tomatoes • 400ml (12/3 cups) gluten-free chicken stock • 200g (7oz) gluten-free dried pasta • 3 tbsp cream cheese • Handful of spring onion (scallion) greens, chopped For the Cajun spice blend • 2 tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional) • ½ tsp ground cumin • 2 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs • Pinch of cayenne pepper • 1 tsp salt • 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

In case you hadn’t noticed already, I’m very averse to dinners that result in a mountain of washing up; so if you’re feeling the same, then I’m dedicating this recipe to you! Who’d have thought you could cook spicy Cajun pasta in a cream sauce with chicken all in the same pan? 1 Place a large pan that has a lid, or a Dutch oven, over a medium heat and add the garlic-infused oil. 2 Put the chicken and the ingredients for the spice blend in a bowl and mix until well coated. once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and fry for 2 minutes before adding in the red pepper. 3 Fry the pepper until slightly softened, then add the chopped tomatoes, stock and pasta. Bring to the boil, then bring down a simmer and pop the lid on. Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency and the pasta is completely cooked. 4 Remove the lid and turn off the heat. After 1–2 minutes of cooling, stir in the cream cheese until combined before topping with chopped spring onion greens. TIP You can speed up this recipe even more by using a Cajun spice blend from the supermarket – just use 3 teaspoons of it instead. Don’t forget to add the cornflour, however!

SPICY WONTONS Taking inspiration from the Sichuan province, my sweet, savoury, spicy and garlicky sauce is a deliciously rich and tingly dressing for these juicy and delicately flavoured dumplings.

20 MINUTES For the wontons 170g (6oz) minced (ground) pork 3 spring onions (scallions), finely chopped 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine (Shaoxing wine) pinch of salt pinch of white pepper 1 tsp dark soy sauce 2 tsp light soy sauce 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) 20 wonton wrappers 1 egg, beaten For the spicy sauce 1 tsp black rice vinegar 4 tbsp Chinese chilli oil 3 tbsp light soy sauce 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp sesame oil

10 MINUTES

SERVES 2

Place all of the wonton ingredients (except the wonton skins and beaten egg) into a food processor and whizz for 30–45 seconds until everything is chopped finely and well mixed. In another bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together and set to one side. To assemble the dumplings, angle a wonton wrapper on your hand so that it faces you like a diamond. With your fingertips or a spoon, spread a thin layer of beaten egg along the top two edges of the wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of filling into the centre of the wrapper. Fold the bottom tip to the top tip to form a triangle and pinch along the edges, sealing the wanton and squeezing out the air to securely enclose the filling. Then fold the two corners together to create an ingot shape, brushing with a little more water to help them stick together. Repeat until all of the filling has been used. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then drop your wontons into the water in batches of 6–8 and cook for 2–3 minutes. Drain and arrange on a serving plate. Pour over your spicy sauce and serve immediately.

The Whiskey Sour is a drink that can take a lot of sweetness – I like it best with an easy-sipping bourbon. If you find it lacks definition, you can always add more bitters. I always feel slightly horrified adding the egg white – but when I taste the end result I’m always glad I did. It binds the drink and lifts it; gives it more generosity in the mouth. If it turns you off, though, leave it out (or use chickpea water – see Non-Alcoholic Ingredients). As the Penicillin and the Sidecar prove, you can make a fine sour without albumen. A good Whiskey Sour is shout-out-loud amazing – but a bad one is a real car crash. So this is one recipe where I would strongly recommend sticking rigidly to the rules. Use eggs and lemons that are as fresh as possible. Shake with lots of ice and shake extra-hard, so it really fluffs up. And serve over one slow-melting ice-block so it doesn’t dilute too fast. The garnish is the part of the Whiskey Sour where you can have real fun. Scent the surface with a fragrant orange twist or a spritz of rosewater.

Campari Corretto (meaning ‘corrected’) is a riff on the Bellini that uses Campari in place of the peach purée. I’ve selflessly tested this at some length and can report that it’s best with a heavy hand on the Campari so that its personality stands out amid all the sparkles.

BELLINI AND VARIOUS FIZZY COUSINS

100ml/4oz white peach purée 1 bottle (70cl/25fl oz) sparkling wine Stir the purée and wine together in a jug. Pour slowly into chilled flutes, stirring gently as you go.

The classic Bellini, invented by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1948 at Venice’s famous Harry’s Bar and named after the 15th-century painter Giovanni Bellini, takes white peach purée and tops it up with prosecco. Make your own purée by poaching very ripe peaches in a little water then straining through a fine sieve (sweeten it a little, if you like). Other summer fruits work well treated the same way – try raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants or (my favourite) redcurrants. When autumn hits try blackberries, and in the depths of winter use rhubarb. Fruit liqueurs such as crème de cassis (blackcurrant), crème de mûre (blackberry) or even apricot brandy are a handy standby, and damson and sloe gin also work well.

of vermouth in the bottom of a flute should do it, although the weight and intensity of your vermouth may mean you want to go lower or higher. If I’m drinking decent fizz, it seems rather like gilding the lily to add anything else to its classy finesse. Sparkling wines of a more lowly pedigree, however, often respond well to a little gilding. Cheap fizz can be punishingly acidic after a glass or two, yet its edges can be so easily softened to give drinks real pizazz. Be aware that prosecco tends to have an underlying sweetness to it while cava is usually drier, so you may want to adjust things accordingly.

Red vermouths rub along nicely with sparkling wine, and to my mind make brilliant aperitifs as their appetising bitterness broods in the background of the fruity bubbles. About 20ml/¾fl oz

Torta Caprese

200g whole unblanched almonds 150g dark chocolate chips (50% - 55%) 40g unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 180g unsalted butter, softened 180g caster sugar, divided into two halves 1 tsp vanilla paste ½ tsp natural almond extract 2 tbsp rum 250g egg (approx. 5 medium eggs), yolks and white separated Pinch of salt 3 tbsp icing sugar for decoration

— gluten free

Torta Caprese is traditionally baked in a deep tart tin with smooth, flaring sides, but it may be baked equally well in a standard spring form tin. It is served up-side-down smothered in a thick layer of icing sugar, often decorated with a stencil. This cake is delicious on its own, but it goes particularly well with a drizzle of pouring cream or smothered with a generous dollop of orange marmalade or raspberry jam.

1. Preheat it to 170°C static. 2. Grease bottom and sides of the tin and dust with flour.

Torta Caprese owes its name to the beautiful and romantic island of Capri, just off the coast of Naples, from which it originates. The recipe is naturally gluten-free: in fact, the story goes that this cake is the result of a mistake made at the beginning of the 20th century by a local chef who, in a hurry, forgot to add flour to the batter of his cake. The result is a light and flavoursome cake with a crispy, delicate skin and a moist centre. Some modern variations use ready-made ground almonds, but I find that blitzing whole unblanched almonds in your food processor together with the chocolate chips delivers a better, more rustic texture, while preserving the freshness and the flavour of the nuts. For a deeper flavour, you can also roast the almonds in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C. In this case, allow them to cool down completely before blitzing them.

— TIP : If you want to keep the recipe glutenfree, dust the tin with corn flour instead. I recommend also lining the bottom of the tin with a disk of baking paper as this will ensure a smoother cake top. 3. Start by grinding almonds and chocolate chips together in a food processor at high speed for about 1 minute until the mix looks gritty. It is perfectly acceptable to leave some coarser bits of almond in the mix: these will give the cake a pleasant bite. 4. Sift the cocoa powder and the baking powder into the almonds and chocolate mix and combine well with a spoon. Set aside for later.

90g egg yolk (approximately 5 medium egg yolks) 80g caster 80g dry Marsala wine

Zabaione is a very rich, traditional and versatile custard-like preparation, based on egg yolk, sugar and a sweet wine, roughly in the same quantities. There are as many theories about its origin as there are variations of the basic recipe. Sweetness can be adjusted by modifying the amount of sugar and the final thickness can be controlled by adding more or less wine to produce either a pourable custard or a creamy, eggnog-like drink. The recipe below will produce an ideal texture for dipping hard biscuits like roccocò [add ref] or dry cakes such as sbrisolona [add ref]. To obtain a thickness suitable for filling cannoncini [add ref], use half the amount of wine. Preparation is easy, but to reach the all-important silky smooth texture, keep whisking the egg mixture over the bain marie continuously and steadily, taking it off the heat as soon as it reaches 80°C: scrambled eggs are just behind the corner… A bit of a warning: steer clear of zabaione if you are not a fan of very rich and sweet creams; on the other hand, if you are after an energy kick, this will certainly give you all the calories you need!

1. Prepare a bain marie by bringing one inch of water to a gentle simmer in a pan.

Zabaione

2. Beat the egg yolks and the sugar with electric mixers at high speed in a metal bowl until pale and fluffy - it will take 4 to 5 minutes. 3. Add the marsala wine to the egg mixture and move the metal bowl over the pan with simmering water. Immediately lower the setting to the lowest possible heat. 4. Keep whisking vigorously and steadily with a hand whisk until the temperature reaches 80°C. 5. If you do not have a thermometer, a good sign that the egg is cooked is that the mixture is no longer liquid, and the whisk will leave marks that do not disappear. 6. Remove from the bain marie and keep whisking until the zabaione is cooled down. 7. If you are not using it immediately, pour the zabaione into a cold bowl (preferably a wide glass or ceramic tray) and line the surface with cling film. ALSO TRY… The traditional recipe calls for Marsala, but any sweet wine, such as vin santo or Moscato d’Asti, will do. For a stronger version use rum instead, or for a lighter, slightly fizzy drink go for spumante or prosecco. Spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg are ideal additions during the Christmas period, while fresh, acidic berries are excellent to cut through the richness and sweetness of zabaione.

Choosing your stones

Before you get started

Does the shape of the stone have an impact on its energy? The shape of the stones that you choose to accompany you in your energy work has an impact. It determines to a certain extent the way in which each stone will communicate with your energy. The first big distinction to make is between raw stones, which have undergone very little processing by man, and processed stones.

RAW STONES

The energy of these stones is “pure” , as nothing has altered them. However, they are not necessarily better: it is possible to work just as effectively with a tumbled stone (presented on page 38) as with a raw stone. At this point, it seems appropriate to remind that the objective of this book is to support you in your choice, not to force you to act in any particular way. Your intuition, your feeling and your opinion are real guides that deserve your attention more than anything else.

Labradorite

My crystal emergency kit

Raw stones are often less expensive than cut or tumbled stones, because they required less work. Let’s take the example of rose quartz, a stone that is full of gentleness. It would probably be cheaper to purchase a large piece of raw stone so that its energy can fill the whole room rather than a big piece of polished rose quartz. Beyond the financial aspect, raw stones either attract or repel, depending on the person. Listen to yourself. Personally, I love raw stones; as I’m writing these lines, that’s all I have on my desk!

Chakras: throat and third eye Colours: grey to black, most often with green or blue streaks, sometimes orange, yellow or purple Keywords: Spiritual protection, introspection, intuition, wisdom Labradorite acts as a true energy shield all around the aura to “block” negative energy coming from other people. It also allows us to detach ourselves from what others think and to live our life fully, solely for ourselves. This very spiritual stone encourages us to elevate our consciousness and to use our intuition. It highlights psychic gifts and simulates the art of being “at the right place at the right time”. It helps us decode messages from our subconscious, making it easier to understand them. It is the perfect stone for working on our spiritual development, because it prepares the body and mind for change. It reinforces trust in ourselves and in the Universe and banishes insecurities and fears as well as past disappointments. It allows us to have new ideas and imagination. It is very useful for introspection sessions and invites us to forge a kind of intuitive wisdom.

How is it used? If you work in a place where people confide in you a lot, or where you absorb the emotions of others, a relatively large labradorite placed in this area would be very useful. You can also carry a tumbled stone on your body. If you are very sensitive to energies, places with a lot of people can be exhausting; personally, I always wear a labradorite bracelet in this kind of situation. To promote work where intuition is important, wear a tumbled stone for a longer period of time.

Wiccan deities The Goddess and the God The Goddess and the God have been given so many names over the centuries that they are also known as the Nameless Ones. They represent all the deities that were born on earth and are present in many forms.

Feminine and masculine The Goddess and the God represent feminine and masculine energies, as well as the feminine in the masculine and the masculine in the feminine, similar to yin and yang. Similarly, a part of them lives in us, and a part of us in them. That is why we can connect with them by connecting with our inner vibration. The Goddess and the God are complementary and equal. They are the creators of all realms: plant, animal, human and ethereal.

Planetary cycles Each planet circles constantly through all twelve signs of the zodiac. Each one makes its rounds in its own time depending on how close to or how far from the Sun it is. These cycles underpin this book for understanding various points in history and for looking ahead to the future. Taking a snapshot of any one planet at any one moment is useful, but it exists within a larger system, as do we. However, it’s a place to begin, especially when you’re learning. Focus in on one thread, then add it in context to other cycles, and the mix of signs and aspects at that time.

The personal versus the collective destiny Looking at transits is particularly interesting as the influence of planetary transits has an effect on both the long-term trends and the collective and also the individual. Keep in mind throughout this book that I’ll be toggling between both levels. The collective transits refer to planets in signs and in relationship to each other. Making it personal means overlaying the transiting planets onto your birth chart. This goes a long way to explaining why people may thrive better than others at various points in their lives. The transiting planets of the times are locking into your chart in a different way from theirs (unless you were born at exactly the same date, place and time). It’s a good reminder not to compare your life to anyone else’s and to respect that each of you has a unique journey.

Astro Power

Neptune

For example, Neptune tells us the spirit of the times. Its 14-year transit through a sign means an entire decade and then some will be stamped with its signature themes. Since Neptune shows up visually in arts and spiritual trends, it’s easy to identify. The swinging sixties were all about sexual revolution and Neptune was in exciting and independent Scorpio. Waistlines dropped to the hips, emphasizing the pelvic region, which happens to be the area of the body ruled by Scorpio. In the 1970s, Neptune was in exotica-loving, globe-trotting Sagittarius. The West embraced Eastern spirituality and proportion became exaggerated: those bell bottom flares, big glasses, explosive hairstyles and platform shoes. In early 2022, Neptune moved into Pisces. Over this period, we saw a renewed interest in modern mysticism, tarot, astrology, crystals and compassion through veganism. It will be remembered for all these things and the colour to rule them all, millennial pink.

SPRING ‘Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?’ Neltje Blanchan

SPRINg

SCENT THE NATURAL FRAgRANCE OF SPRINg Finding happiness through your olfactory system can be a wonderful discovery, especially if you haven’t explored it fully before. You can do it in several ways. One is through flowers and their scents. Probably the bestknown spring flowers are crocus, daffodil, tulip, iris, bluebell and lily of the valley. Each one has a very different odour and you can find out what makes you feel the most uplifted by experimenting. A flower shop or stall is a great starting point if you don’t have a garden, park or woods near you. Taking a walk amongst nature and focusing on the smells can be wonderful too. If you close your eyes and cover your ears, it may enhance your ability to pick up the fragrances. Breathe deeply and try to separate all the smells that you can. Take your time. The more you focus, the more you are likely to realize you don’t know what some of them are. Open your eyes and explore. Can you determine where some are coming from? What do you like the most? What makes you smile as you breathe it in? What makes you happy?

EXPLORINg ESSENTIAL OILS Another area worth exploring is the range of essential oils that can be found in most health shops. There are so many on offer and some might seem more suited to one particular season. For spring, recommendations that could lift your mood are the delightfully astringent grapefruit, lemon or peppermint as they are good for awakening the energy. More soothing choices are geranium, chamomile and bergamot. You can find testers in shops and start smelling. Having a sniffing session with essential oil testers is a fun 28 way to connect with the joy of scent.

Ruffled Patchwork Cushion Patchwork is having a huge moment on the catwalks and in the sustainable fashion circles and I am a huge fan. A great way to save offcuts, samples and scraps from ending up in landfill they can be used to sew any number of items, here I’ll show you how to create this very simple and beautiful cushion using patchworking. The perfect project for any of your fabric samples that turned out well too.

Technique

Enamel paints in 2-3 colours, these should be non toxic to ensure safety as these candles will be lit so avoid any solvent based flammable paints. You could choose more colours if you’re going for a more varied effect. If you’re choosing to marble coloured candles consider how the colours will all work together and you may decide to reduce the palette to just two colours with the third being your candles.

We’ll be using the water marbling technique using ready made inks for this project. You can refer to the techniques section for the full method, best practises and troubleshooting.

Taper or Dinner candles Water (room temperature distilled water will work best) Scrap paper to clean the water bath and sample colours Table cover & cloth to keep things clean

Using the cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol wipe the candles free of any dust and surface residue. This will give you a clean surface to marble onto.

How to Fill the tray with about an inch of water or if using a bowl fill it two thirds of the way up with water. Enamel paints like nail polish will dry very quickly so I’d recommend pouring them into your water bath in spirals or circles and creating patterns that will transfer onto your candles without any manipulation. You can test the colours out in a smaller water bath first to see how they disperse as with all paints the varying pigments will work differently.

Interiors

Tray - long enough to fit the candles into, a bowl will also work if you’re planning on dipping just one end of the candles

Preparation

When happy with your design, dip your candles into the water and pull out to reveal the pattern! Leave to dry upright in a candle holder for a few hours before they are ready to use.

Candle holders to place wet candles in to dry upright Rubbing alcohol and a cloth TIP - Pour the paints as close to the water as you can to aid with the fast drying time. TIP - Shake and open all the paints before you get started to ensure no delays during the process.

‘a woman can be overdressed, never overelegant.’ coco chanel

In 1923 Porter Woodruff illustrated a Chanel fashion show for Vogue Paris (left), who described it as a ‘pleasure for the eyes’ and declared that, with Chanel ‘the Parisienne with good taste is in her element’. Illustrating a society ball (right), Vogue reported that ‘Mme Jacques Porel chose a Chanel gown … one of those slim models of diamanté and crystal.’

relatives. Chanel adored flowers but she explained to the perfumer that she wanted her scent to be an original blend of an array of floral notes, unlike the single-note scents which had been around for years. ‘I don’t want hints of roses, or of lilies of the valley,’ she explained. ‘I am an artisan, so I want a perfume that is composed – a paradox.’ ‘One thing is certain,’ said fragrance expert Michael Edwards of that initial encounter, ‘Chanel wanted a tenacious perfume that clung to the skin and was as versatile as her clothes.’ Beaux presented Chanel with ten sample scents organised, he recalled, ‘in two series: 1 to 5 and 20 to 24’. Ultimately No˚5 – composed of rose, jasmine, ylangylang, jonquil, lily of the valley and sandalwood – seduced her. Beaux suggested that a preventative measure against piracy A caricature by ‘Sem’ – the artist would be to make the formula ‘too expensive’ to imitate. Georges Goursat – depicting Coco, as ‘Do it – I want to make it the world’s most expensive ‘Marchioness of the perfume flask’, inside a bottle of Chanel No˚5. perfume,’ was Chanel’s response. She had the budget to produce it, paying for Beaux’s services with £40,000 (today’s equivalent of US $1,000,000) left to her in Boy Capel’s will. ‘What name will you give it?’ Beaux asked Chanel. ‘We will let this sample number five keep the name it has already – it will bring good luck,’ she is said to have replied. Chanel presented her couture collections on the fifth day of the fifth month; her affinity with the number five went back to her school days at Aubazine where ‘emphasis [was placed] on numerology [and] five symbolized the pure embodiment of a thing, its spirit and mystic meaning,’ asserts Tilar J. Mazzeo. Chanel’s zodiac symbol was Leo, the fifth sign, adds Lisa Chaney, who concluded, ‘Whatever the true source of her superstition, she believed with a passion that the number five brought her luck.’ It is possible that Chanel already had the prototype for Nº5’s distinctive cube-shaped bevelled glass flacon. According to his daughter Jeanine, Maurice Dépinoix, who operated Dépinoix Glassworks, had helped Chanel design it before the war. Its minimalist look adhered to Chanel’s fashion philosophy of ‘costly simplicity’ and would prove not only directional, since it was the antithesis of the objet d’art containers innovated by François Coty, but also absolutely dateless.

Schiaparelli’s skiwear for December 1930 was made from waterproof gabardine, the jacket fastened with industrial steel hooks. In a flash of brilliance, Schiaparelli took the newly invented industrial zip and similarly brought it into high fashion. These Illustration by Giron showing fasteners reflected her attitude towards modern life: Lanvin (left) and Schiaparelli. Her iconoclastic but practical, offering women a quick double-fronted grey gabardine ski jacket is closed with six clamps, alternative to button fastening. This, too, was taken Schiaparelli’s alternative to up by an author to indicate a time in the future, when buttons. Her striped scarves – women matched the speed of their lives with clothes here in grey and lavender – were becoming fashionable accessories. that were easy to wear. To the male hero of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932), living in AD 2540, the zips on the female protagonist Lenina’s man-made velveteen shorts were a fetishistic delight: ‘Zip; zip, and then zip; he was enchanted’.

he influential American writers Thérèse and Louise Bonney included Schiaparelli in their Shopping Guide to Paris in 1929, mythologising her as a savant, who had ‘felt the pulse of the style world, sprang into the market overnight, and made an instantaneous success. She designs herself, and has [the models] made under her direction. This combination of individual design and direction is worth money, and she values her products accordingly.’ This sense of meteoric success was a journalistic fantasy: Schiaparelli had come into the fashion world a mature 37-year-old, her taste was well defined, she had been drawing and working as a designer herself for a number of years and was experienced in the fashion industry as a saleswoman and promoter of haute couture. What the American authors liked was her ‘can do’ approach to her business: in 1929 she was one of around sixteen Parisian couturiers whose designs were available at leading US department stores and through Ladies’ Home Journal. The modernity of Schiaparelli also attracted Vogue. When Main Bocher resigned, Condé Nast replaced him with Michel de Brunhoff, a man for whom images were of primary importance. Driven by the desire to be the ‘best in everything’, in 1929 Nast appointed the visionary Dr M. F. Agha as overall art director to bring Vogue into step with contemporary design. The erudite Dr Agha was himself

chiaparelli spent the years 1931–4 creating her signature silhouette, experimenting with the latest fabrics and fibres, inventing fabulous colours, and building on her reputation as a fashion leader. Schiaparelli said that she was shy, so shy that sometimes simply saying ‘hello’ made her feel ice-cold. Nevertheless, in order to promote her work during this period she had to assume the role of fashion celebrity, the enfant terrible of French couture, setting her apart from her peers, all of whom – with the exception of Chanel, so like Schiaparelli in many ways – were reticent and controlled when working with the press.

chiaparelli’s description of herself indicates a personality for whom life was a constant series of highs and lows: ‘[I am] profoundly lazy,’ she wrote, ‘but work furiously and rapidly. [My] laughter and tears collide; on a job of work [I am] fun, soaring from despair to heavenly delight.’ This mental turmoil was part and parcel of the creative process, as is the case with so many designers. Dress, maquillage and wigs were partly a mask behind which she could remain private, presenting different ‘faces’ to the public in an aggressive marketing drive. This public persona was expressed in her ‘hard chic’, the sculptured silhouette, for which she commanded women to train their bodies. By extension, she offered women flattering shapes but in practical, hard-wearing fabrics, both man-made and traditional. With a backdrop of the Depression and the growing militarisation in the run-up to the Second World War, Schiaparelli therefore catered to the tough frivolity of the decade. ‘People were not afraid of being different then,’ Schiaparelli wrote wistfully in her memoirs in 1954, when Christian Dior’s elegant femininity was dominating the couture. She was the daring iconoclast who in 1931 shocked London with her divided skirt trousers, worn by Spanish tennis player Lili de Alvarez at Wimbledon, but designed for everyday life, not just for sport; and though often self-conscious, she herself donned wigs while skiing at St Moritz. ‘I have never been shy of appearing in public in the most fantastic and personal get-up.

requisitioned materials like wool and leather, and women were reduced to making clothes from old sofa covers and hats from newspaper and straw. Lucien Lelong, the head of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, engaged in constant tussles with the authorities for more fabric to be allocated to couture, a move that must have irritated the hard-pushed ordinary Frenchwoman. In 1941, Le Figaro ran an article addressed to her, explaining how important it was to the economy for couture to continue. When things got back to normal, Paris could then take its rightful place again as the fashion capital of the world.

scents, like may chang and basil we know Ebi's dad would have wanted us to find some joy through the pain of losing him so we felt a bright and invigorating scent was perfect to reflect this. Another one of our first scents was the Road to Port Harcourt candle, inspired by Emmanuel’s home town, Port Harcourt Nigeria. The scent is deep and earthy with grassy notes of. Vetiver and spice from black pepper reflecting the city in which Emmanuel spent so many years of his life growing in. This is what makes candle making so special to us. The ability to create feelings or bring back memories through scent is a magical thing. We launched online in 2019 and since then we have seen our candles and wider range stocked all over the world - from Scotland where we live and further afield across the UK to places like Helsinki and Austria, and even as far as Taiwan.

It's such a simple way to enhance every day moments and the pride you feel when you have created a beautiful candle with your own hands is immense. Additionally, we want you to think of candles as a key aspect of your home interiors. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK In this book you will learn the fundamentals of making candles. From scented jar candles, to tea lights and dinner candles. We will walk you through everything we have learnt about wax, essential oils, fragrance oils, wicks and blending. We've included fun projects for you to get stuck into and focused on how you can live in tune with the seasons through the scents and ingredients you use.

8 INTRODUCTION

Our initial range consisted of four candle scents, all inspired by a special place or pivotal moment in our life. It was an amazing and surprisingly emotional experience coming up with scents that we felt reflected special memories. First in our range was a candle we called The Month of May, May 2018 held a lot of significance for us, it was the month our first daughter was born and also the month that Ebi's Father unexpectedly passed away just a few days after she gave birth. Through the pain that we felt during that time, the birth of our first daughter was a light that kept us going. And so, in creating this candle we chose to use oils with fresh and mood boosting

We know that often people think of candles as purely a special treat for autumn and winter but candles can and should be enjoyed year-round!

What is a candle?

9 CANDLES

In Candle 101 you will learn the building blocks of candle making which will then give you the confidence to try your hand at the various projects included in this book. You will see that the book has been broken down into seasons. At the start of each section, we have suggested some of our favourite fragrances to use for candle making at that time of year. As well as this, the various candle projects we have included in these sections are some of our favourite types of candles to use for that season. Think taper candles for summer evenings and dinner with friends (pg. xxx), crackling wood wick candles for autumn (pg. xxx) or fragrant aromatherapy candles, celebrating spring botanicals.

After much trial and error, experimentation with wax, wicks, oils, troubleshooting "scented candles" with no scent, we finally got the hang of it. And so, Our Lovely Goods was born, our brand is really an extension of us and weaves together our passions for home, family, and heritage.

Choosing the right wax Choosing the wax, you would like to use will depend on several factors, including the form of candles you would like to make, the kind of wax you would prefer to use (for example, is using an all-natural wax important to you?), the amount of scent throw you'd like the candle to have, the level of difficulty that you want the project to offer, and even the type of finish you would like to see on your candles. Taking the time to consider all of these factors will help you decide which wax is right for your project.

At its core, a candle is a block of fuel (wax) wrapped around a wick which is ignited, burning the fuel (wax) to produce, light, warmth and sometimes scent. In the early days, candles were primarily a functional item, used a source of light. In more recent times, candles have become a big part of home decor and this has encouraged the development of new techniques and materials.

Different Types of Waxes When making candles, one of the most important considerations is the type of wax you will be using. The choice will come down to the type of candle you are making and, in some cases, environmental considerations. Below we have detailed a few of the most commonly used waxes on the market.

SOY WAX

RAPESEED WAX

Soy wax is one of the newer waxes on the candle making scene. It was developed in the early 90's as a natural demand for natural candles growing, soy wax was developed in the early 1990s from hydrogenated soybean oil. This is our wax of choice for our candles due to its ease of use with most fragrances, and high performance in container candles.

Rapeseed wax comes from the rapeseed plant and is a natural vegetable wax. It has similar properties to soy wax however it has a lower melting point which means it is a softer wax than soy or paraffin.

BEESWAX Beeswax is probably the oldest candle making wax, used by ancient civilisations across the world from around 300BC. This wax is great for making candles which won't be housed in a container as it is one of the stronger waxes when set.

CANDLE MAKING 101

PARAFFIN WAX Paraffin wax or 'Mineral' wax is derived from petroleum which is drilled out of the ground from oil rigs and refined. It is a fairly inexpensive wax and is used widely in commercial candle making because it can hold a high amount of fragrance and colour. It also comes in various melt points, making it suitable for making many different types of candles, from containers to pillars

COCONUT WAX Coconut Wax is one of the newer waxes on the candle making scene. It is soft creamy and white and similarly to rapeseed wax has a low melting point and also often performs well when blending with another wax.

WAX BLENDS Blended candle waxes are made by combining waxes together to get the most out of the positive properties found in each wax. Paraffine is often blending with natural waxes such as soy, rapeseed and coconut Additionally you can also find natural wax blends which are combinations of 100% naturally derived waxes.
