Seasonal Notebooks: Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring

Rating:
Summary: overpriced cookbook
Review: A seasonal cookbook with a lot of flowers. Not much design help whatsoever. Not what I wanted

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful and a good read too!
Review: Of all the Carolyne Roehm books, this set is my favorite. It had some practical gardening tips as well as the flower arrangements and recipes. If you are expecting a gardening "how to" book, this is not the one. However, the books are beautiful and I enjoyed each one. It gave me many ideas for my own home. I will never have a budget that allows me to purchase 12 dozen roses for one display, however, many of her ideas can be implemented on a smaller scale with less expensive florals. The color combinations were inspiring as well as the examples of matching floral displays to the surroundings. If you love flowers and beautiful table scapes, you will love this book.
