From A Colonial Garden: Ideas, Decorations, Recipes

I not only enjoyed perusing this book and the beautiful pictures but I know it will be one I will pull off the bookshelf a great deal for good ideas.Not only does it give pictures of some of Colonial Williamsburg's pretty gardens but it is loaded with ideas for using items from our gardens and nature to create beauty in our homes. This book is especially good for the person who loves to decorate their home with seasonal beauty brought in from the garden.There is also a very nice section about garden decorations for weddings.While the book contains many recipes, it is not really a recipe book. Having said that, there are enough interesting garden fresh recipes given that I know I'll enjoy trying a few.

The book is beautiful and arrived in perfect condition. The seller packaged it extremely well to protect it during shipment.

Really love this book. It is so evocative of life in Williamsburg and gives lovely ideas and recipes too. I think Williamsburg is a delight to visit, even though it appears to be called the "revolutionary city" now which I personally think detracts from the wish to portray life as it was in that era.I was so pleased to find these books from Amazon.com as they were much to heavy to carry home in April when I was there!!

I got this book just as a resource to make a few recipes and table decs for a colonial tea. After paging through the first section, I was hooked -- read the book straight through, and the next day did the same thing all over again. This is a gorgeous, creativity-boosting reference, with unusual ideas and lots of historically inspired recipes. It's already one of my favorite entertaining books!

received as described and on time
