COTTAGECORE 

by Daisy Oakley (Summersdale £12.99)

It’s no surprise that cottagecore became the latest aesthetic trend during lockdown, as its ethos is all about slowing things down and retreating from the modern world — think sourdough bread, prairie dresses and traditional crafts. 

In this comforting book, Oakley tells you how to master everything from whittling a tent peg to identifying different clouds. 

With delicious recipes — the butternut squash soup sounds perfect for autumn — it will have even the most fervent city-lover browsing for country cottages.
