Pot pourri is expensive to buy if you want it ready-made, but with a small amount of time and effort you can make your own quite cheaply. This work shows how to make up the mixtures - which can contain such things as dried flowers, herbs and spices - to a recipe that suits you. The books also includes a new idea from America: hot pot pourri steaming.

Potpourri, a fragrant mixture of dried flowers and spices, has been used since ancient times to perfume houses and other buildings. The revival of interest in herbs and other fragrant botanicals has brought a renewed enthusiasm in making potpourri. Devotees collect recipes in the same way that cooks collect culinary recipes, so most dried flower books contain a few recipes along with some general instructions. Sheen's book is full of recipes and instructions for using a wide variety of fragrant plant materials, essential oils, and fixatives. Also included are several chapters on the creative uses and possible displays of the finished potpourri in sachets, baskets, and gift items. This informative book is recommended for public libraries.
