Visually stunning and an incredible resource,

This review is from: At Home With Carolyne Roehm (Hardcover)
This book is absolutely amazing. Although I do not have all the resources as Ms. Roehm, the recipes are supurb, while the suggestions and ideas are easily adaptable to the smaller scale and your personal environment. If you are looking for a resource on interior design, think again...this is an entertaining guide. There are also lots of helpful hints regarding color usage and flower selection. This book is my new entertaining Bible! Step aside, Martha!

Nice recipes ...,

This review is from: At Home With Carolyne Roehm (Hardcover)
I've only made a few of the recipes so far, but they turned out very nicely. In particular, the lemon-dill pasta will become a staple of mine from here on out.My only complaint is that not all recipes for the suggested menus are included.
