Evergreen trees are pillars of the winter – through extreme temperatures across the most bitter terrains, they stand tall and thriving, resilient in the face adversity. However, as the festive season draws to a close, these comforting conifers can often be found lining the streets, cast off and disused with wilted branches dotted across dustbins. How to Eat Your Christmas Tree is a cookbook which explores the unsung edible heroes of our forests – the humble Christmas trees and their evergreen friends. Featuring recipes for ferments and preserves, feasts, sweet treats and drinks, you will learn how to extend the life of your beloved Christmas tree and turn them into delectable delights to enjoy throughout the year. From simple ideas such as infusing pine needles to make a delicious and warming Pine Tea to more lavish spreads such as a decadent Fur-Cured Salmon, How to Eat Your Christmas Tree is a refreshing and innovative cookbook that encourages you to think about food waste and to be more resourceful in an age of deforestation and climate crisis.

THE LAST CHRISTMAS TREE, a children''s Christmas book, is the story of a young Blue Spruce tree that was born in the Great Forest in the mountains near the shores of the Great Lake. Sprucey had many friends in the Great Forest who taught him many things about the outside world. One day Sprucey was told the story of the Christmas Tree, and how it is used to celebrate the birth of the Son of the Creator of All Living Things. From that day forward Sprucey decided that, when he grew up, he wanted to be a Christmas Tree. One day in early December, Sprucey and his Mother are loaded on a truck to begin their journey to The Great City. There they are put on display in a city lot to be sold as Christmas trees.
