"Autumn is a season that lures us indoors, and
shifts our focus from the garden, the pool, or the beach to the
home."
The magic and mystique
of the fall season are splendidly captured in Carolyn Roehm's Fall
Notebook: Garden, Hearth, Tradition, Home, a collection of recipes,
crafts, entertainment tips, and garden projects. In her introduction to
the book, Roehm--former fashion designer turned author--writes,
As a gardener, I feel a certain sadness as I am forced to break a
bond that I have spent the spring and summer nurturing. Although it is
easy for one to become nostalgic during this time, it is necessary to
move forward because it is crucial to prepare for the long winter that
lies ahead ... although those beautiful blooms are a long way off and we
must put our garden to bed, we shift to a new buzz of life that is
brought about by the gathering of family and friends under one roof for
the holidays.
Arranged by individual plants--dahlias and chrysanthemums can be
counted on for their late-fall showiness--as well as specific projects and
festivities, including Halloween, bulb planting, and Thanksgiving, each
chapter offers a host of ideas for savoring autumn's flavor through arts
and crafts projects, practical gardening tips, succulent recipes, and
creative entertaining advice.
Celebrate Turkey day in style with elegant place cards--easily
created with a rubber stamp and ecru stationary--that compliment lemon
leaf, eucalyptus berry, and autumn-hued rose table arrangements, while a
menu of poisson with rosemary and sage, potato and parsnip purée,
and pumpkin soufflé--all clearly spelled out in Roehm's meticulous
recipes--would make any family thankful.
With full-color photographs, pockets for storing ideas and graph
paper for planning--not to mention useful lists to help you organize
events and gardening chores--the Fall Notebook is as glorious to
look at as it is practical to use.
