Book Description
Former fashion designer Carolyne Roehm is renowned for
combining a keen appreciation of beauty with practical know-how.
Now, with this
gorgeously illustrated guide, readers can go behind the scenes of her
memorable parties, learn her entertaining secrets, and visit the glamorous
homes where she has dazzled her prominent guests.
Imparting fresh ideas and inspiration for knockout events on any budget,
At Home with Carolyne Roehm follows the calendar’s seasons to provide
year-round suggestions for place settings, floral arrangements, and
menus.
Emphasizing creativity
and natural elements, Carolyne Roehm’s tips are not exclusively geared
toward elegant functions: Picnics, cozy fireside meals for two, afternoon
teas, and formal dinner parties are treated with equal verve.
Drawing on ingredients
and imagery appropriate for spring, summer, winter, and fall and all the
major holidays, this handsome collection yields a trove of simple but
sophisticated recipes along with perfect tabletop and decorative accents
to accompany them.
Biscuit sandwiches of
Mustard-Glazed and Smoked Cheddar; Shrimp and White Bean Salad; Zucchini
and Watercress Soup; and Fudgy Rum Chocolate Cake are just a few of the
delicious and easy-to-prepare dishes.
For successful festive
occasions that friends and family will remember for years, from a grand
New Year’s Eve gala to a spring brunch with a floral theme, At Home with
Carolyne Roehm is itself glorious cause for celebration.
