Garden Parties
Author: Suzy Bales
Dinner under the stars in a formal garden, a tea amid the roses, rustic breakfast in an Adirondack camp, a harvest luncheon . . . these are parties that celebrate the best that nature has to offer, paired with food and drink perfect for the surroundings. You know how much enjoyment and relaxation your garden brings you—why not share it with friends and family? Throughout Garden Parties, Suzy Bales inspires fancifully fun parties that transform outdoor spaces into enchanting playgrounds for the senses—the plants, the decor, and the food intermingle to create truly memorable themes.
But Garden Parties isn’t just a beautiful book for inspiration. It’s also eminently practical, with how-to instruction on prolonging the life of cut flowers, constructing wreaths, and using a birdbath as an hors d’oeuvres stand, as well as making edible treats such as candied petals, floral-decorated ice cubes, and flowers for salads and garnishes.
And Garden Parties is packed with delicious recipes perfect for the occasion: the spring luncheon features the spring treasures Asparagus Bundles with Chives and Lemon Butter, Mustard and Garlic Grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Fresh Mint Sauce, and Creamy Watercress Soup; the midsummer eve’s romantic dinner includes seductive Champagne Framboise, Seared Scallops on Rose Petals, and Blooming Salad. All the recipes are designed to utilize advance preparation, allowing you to greet and enjoy your guests instead of struggling with last-minute details.
Whether you have a pocket-sized terrace in the city, a simple suburban backyard, or extravagant country acres, your garden can provide theinspiration and the setting for the perfect party. Garden Parties shows you how.

Brander's Guide to Scotch Whiskey
Author: Michael Brander
Under international law only the Scots may distill scotch whisky; therefore only a true Scotsman could write this book. Brander's Guide to Scotch Whisky provides an illuminating history of scotch making, from the days of the illicit distillers to the present, and includes a Directory of Malt Whiskies, with the background to each and a guide to their tastes. Throughout, Michael Brander concentrates on the traditional twice-distilled pot-still malt whiskies, themselves the basis of the better blended scotch whiskies. A litre measure of information on scotch in a miniature container, Brander's Guide to Scotch Whisky is a must-have for anyone who enjoys fine spirits. (4 1/2 X 7 3/4, 184 pages)
