Everything is Washable – Sali Hughes

Sali Hughes is a Guardian columinst whose regular writings are concerned with beauty. Her no nonsense advice in her writings in that paper have been expanded in this book to cover all matter of life essentials. It contains advice to help you navigate modern life; good sense on home, food, drink, fashion, health, friends, family, finances and more. Hughes gives advice on where it is good to spend money – bin bags, cheap ones being the ultimate false economy – and where to save money – buy a cheap kitchen but have it fitted properly. She also answers all of those vital questions such as “Are posh candles a waste of money?” and lists the thirty-seven foodstuffs that she considers essential to have in your kitchen cupboard.

Although the concept of the book may seem rigid, Hughes dispenses her advice with humour, and switches between the seemingly inconsequential to the big topics with ease. It would make a great gift to give to someone leaving home for the first time.
