Grow, Cook, Dye, Wear

A fully illustrated, practical guide that explains how to follow a sustainable approach to food and fashion

Live sustainably with style – grow fruits and vegetables, cook them, create natural dyes, then make your own clothes with five full-size pattern sheets.

Focused around five crops (blackberry, nettle, onion, red cabbage, and rhubarb) that can be foraged or grown in an allotment, planter, or container, Bella Gonshorovitz – fashion designer, dressmaker, and writer – shows you how to embrace a holistic garden-to-garment lifestyle.

- Learn how to forage, sow, and harvest with straightforward grow guides
- Enjoy your produce with advice on the best vegan pantry ingredients and recipes
- Create natural dyes from your food waste to upcycle fabrics in beautiful seasonal shades
- Transform your fabrics into five exclusively designed, essential pieces of clothing, including a shirt dress and duster coat

Swap food waste and fast fashion for homegrown produce, delicious vegan dishes, and a contemporary capsule wardrobe with the help of Bella’s friendly, accessible approach to sustainable living.
