The Stillroom

Wednesday 17 July 2024

We will be taking time to look at the history of fragrance and herbs in fragrant recipes, many of which contain aromatic distilled waters. Through cosmetics, cleansers and pest repellents that are for use in the home, cookery and medicine we will trace the theme of what volatile oils in plants have to offer. In addition to enjoyable fragrances this includes antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, mood lifting and sedative or alerting properties.

A range of recipes will offer experience with such diverse herbs as rose, orange flower, bay, peppermint, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon balm and hyssop. These will be for use as cosmetics, in cookery and medicine. Fragrant mixtures will be the order of the day!
