The Kaufmann Mercantile Guide by Alexandra Redgrave and Jessica Hundley is a trusted companion for the slow and thoughtful home. It is a celebration of craft, care and the satisfaction found in doing things yourself, whether that means foraging outdoors, cooking with patience, or tending to tools at home.
Organised into five sections — Kitchen, Outdoors, Home, Gardening, and Grooming — the book offers over how-to projects that balance utility with quiet pleasure. You will learn the basics of everyday life, from brewing the perfect cup of coffee or caring for cast iron, to planting with the seasons, reading the sky, or fording a stream. Each project is supported with expert knowledge, original illustrations and timeless advice to encourage both confidence and curiosity.
More than a manual, this guide connects you to the rhythms of life’s simple tasks, reminding us that the tools and rituals we keep close are not just useful, but meaningful.
Hardcover with detailed artwork and practical instruction.
Published in the USA.
