A Beautiful and Delicous Little Crop!

I planted these in a container box on my small balcony. They are growing very nice, and are a very lush and pretty plant. I eat them raw with a simple olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing, or I saute them in olive oil and garlic. It's such a treat to get fresh organic greens, right from my balcony. These same greens are $3.00 a bunch at my neighborhood grocer!

This scarf, with beautiful autumn colors isn't just extra long it is extra fine/sheer! Both the fact that it is silk and the fact that it is super sheer mean that it is breathable enough to wear it even in the warmest weather. When I place it over my face I can easily watch the television through it.

It fits easily around my waist to make a tie, but also ties beautifully around my neck, can be worn over my shoulders (or head) as a shawl, and barely feels like I have anything on!

I checked the hem (such a TINY hem!) and there was one loose thread which was OK to cut off. But even with such a fine fabric, the teensy tiny hem was beautifully done with only the tiniest bit of puckering in the corners, neither noticeable nor important except to reviewers like me - who have promised a totally honest review.

I received a free sample of this product so that I could examine it and test it for my review and I continue to be impressed by the quality of the Tony&Candice products.

I ordered this to replace a winter savory I'd grown from this size to an 18" robust garden shrub.  This one flourishes in small pot on my east-facing apartment window sill.  If I could have only one fresh herb, it would be this delicious stuff.

I ordered this instamatic camera not really expecting much simply due to the fact that my granny had a polaroid instamatic when I was a kid and the pictures it took were not the best.  I must admit, though, I was happily surprised.  These little bitty pictures are the absolute cutest pictures.  The colors are outstanding, just as good if not better than my 35mm.  The images are completely sharp.  I almost did not try it based on some of the other reviews that I read but am so glad I did.  The only thing I would change if possible would be the size of the camera itself.  It is much bigger than anticipated.  But obviously that one point was not a big enough deal for me to lower my score by even half a star.  It is true that film for this camera is not as easily accessible as other film but it is readily available thru amazon.

I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who is totally into instant gratification.  I am giving two more as Christmas gifts.  Check around, but if you are wanting clear, sharp, small pictures with wonderful color, this camera is for you.

This is not your ordinary cookbook. It is a visual feast for all your senses. The photographs are stunning, the recipes are simple to understand, and the tips are actually very helpful.  Ina Garten expertly walks you  through preparation to presentation, and injects personal anecdotes throughout. I was left with the impression that she truly wants her readers to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of a great meal.
The book begins with an introduction to fresh ingredients and again, the emphasis is on quality and simplicity. Ina guides us through a farmer's market of fresh fruits and vegetables, explaining what to look for and how to select the very best ingredients for our meals. In the midst of this primer, she delivers a simple recipe for fresh lemonade (a quick application of what we have just learned!), followed by a glossary of kitchen terms, and all accompanied by beautiful photographs. The first section is devoted to appetizers, and includes detailed instructions on what to serve at cocktail parties (and exactly how to serve it) and how to make and present an elegant, yet simple fruit and cheese platter. My favorite recipe from this section was the vegetable sushi. She then covers Soups (including home made croutons), Salads (the French Potato is tremendous!), Dinner Entrees (including a kitchen clambake and the famous Indonesian Ginger Chicken recipe), Vegetables (with instructions on  creating a stunning vegetable platter), Desserts (the country dessert platter is perfect for small groups get-togethers!) and a section simply entitled "Breakfast" with a wonderful recipe for White Hot Chocolate and a short primer on how to make "the perfect cup of coffee". The book ends with details for assembling party food and has a complete resource section loaded with information on how to find specialty items.
I own many cookbooks, but I have found this to be the most inspiring and entertaining that I have read. The recipes are simple, and quite delicious, making this a terrific resource for both the experienced and novice cook.
5 Stars. Magnificent!

I'm so happy this book has been re-issued! I have my mother's copy of the original 1955 edition and it was her Bible in the Fall when the garden started yielding more produce than we could consume (and there were 10 of us!) What makes this cookbook particularly enjoyable is the variety of strange and fascinating recipes. Some are quick and easy to be made in small batches. A few are labeled "Career Girl" recipes and are made from frozen fruits and vegetables so busy "career girls" (a popular term in the 50s) could hurry home from their "girl Friday" jobs and whip up a batch of salad pickles that tasted like she had slaved in the kitchen for hours.

I love some of the very old-fashioned sounding chapters. Crystallized Fruits & Flowers has detailed instructions for crystallizing everything from strawberries to violets and tons of recipes including Honey & Rose-Petal Preserves and Glacd Wine Figs. There is a chapter on Conserves, which I happen to be partial to, including Rhubarb (Pie Plant) Conserve and Red Beet Conserve. The rather lengthy Meats and Sea Food chapter includes all Venison Mincemeat, Pickled Oysters, instructions for brining, corning, and pickling meat, a variety of meat pastes, sausages and scrapples and "Easy Brined Shrimp".

Marion Brown's section on Preserves is testimony to the fact that early cooks could figure out a way to preserve darn near anything and includes quaint recipes like Sun-Cooked Strawberry Preserves, Pumpkin Chips, and Cantalope Preserves.

Perhaps the most unique recipe in the book is one she copied from a fifteenth century cookbook for "Peris in Syrippe and Wyne", She adds 2 interpretations of that, her own and a variation by a friend which adds orange slices. I love the idea of adding saffron.

I recently published a cookbook of my own (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fry-Bacon-Add-Onions-The-Valentine-Family-Friends-Cookbook/dp/0978594045/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fry Bacon. Add Onions: The Valentine Family & Friends Cookbook</a>&nbsp;nd glancing through the section on Preserves I'm sure many of those recipes evolved from Marion Brown's cookbook. This is a highly readable treasure!

The cucumber and broccoli are thriving after only a month, the corn seemed to sprout very quickly as well. The peppers are doing good, can't wait to taste when I get my first harvest. The only disappointing thing was instead of green onion, I received two packages of corn, one was an off-brand.

This is another of those gems of a little one-subject cookbook.  Jhonson does great job with history, techniques and recipe collection for this sumptuous little bread.
From sweet type most of us have come to love with coffee, tea or just cold glass of milk, she adds savory items, i.e. a great recipe with Corn and Pumpkin Seeds or Carmelized Shallots.
There are many here that are simply wundebar, e.g. Meyer Lemon-Macademia or Drambuie-Raisin. If you're a shortbread fancier, this is neat collection to use and inspire one's own creations.

I love the way this looks and the ease of use.  The fabric and color is very very nice and I can't wait to use it for my first crop!  Shipping was ultra fast as usual.

I knew that there was something sexy about garlic! And roasting it just brings out the sweetness, (not to mention the siren's call of aroma to bring in my man!), and there's a recipe for garlic soup, "d'amour" that I can't wait to try.

We've managed to try a handful of recipes, (thanks to the ease of them), and I love the "Wake & Bake" eggs especially due to the pre-make nature of the process. You can present an awesome platter of goodness to your lover in the morning without taking to much time away from the bed. ;) The "Casanova Smoothie" is a wonderful mix of ginger, pear and spinach - perfect for those hot summer days when eating is difficult. The "Rose Petal" sorbet will be the next hot day venture for me.

Amy is an educator and one of my favorite parts of this book is the "Dictionary of Desire". Who knew that aphrodisiacs lived in ingredients like fennel, mustard, nuts and yogurt?!

I should add that there's an interesting recipe contributed by Susan Feniger: Sexy Banana Fritters with coconut kaya jam? Really? I think that this one will be difficult to not spread upon my hubby... it sounds lick-ably delish - and I will be making it for Valentine's Day this year.

I'm pretty sure that you'll "get some" if you manage to knock out a few of these recipes at any time!!

There was an incredible variety of succulents and they're so pretty! I gave a few as gifts, and everyone loved them! I also kept a few for myself and they're still looking really great! Very satisfied with the variety and quality of the cuttings.

Arrived well packaged, full and very healthy looking. Beautiful, and can't get enough of the leaf scent. Just beautiful!

I got two started plants from a friend gardener here in Tucson, AZ. They were about 5 inches tall when i transplanted them about a month ago. They were just sitting for about 2-3 weeks not growing much and not developing vines. In the past 10 days or so they started growing like crazy. The two plants are over a foot tall with a bunch of leafs and vines are developing as well. I cut larger leafs about 5 days ago and they already have a bunch more that are ready to go into my salad. :)

As some of the other reviewers pointed out, this summer spinach has special taste. I like it and highly recommend this tasty plant.

This book is packed full of beautiful photography and many informative gems for the beginning gardener. I've had limited experience with being a greenthumb, predominantly growing up and puttering around in the family garden and at various times in my own thoughout the years.

I purchased this book because I live in apartments that have little to no space in which to cultivate a garden - and I prefer fresh produce as opposed to that you buy from the supermarket. I've also purchased some other books for additional input on my venture to have herbs, vegetables and fresh fruit.

There are a few ideas in here that I like and will be implementing in my tiny garden, I'll update my review should it all pan out. Good luck and happy gardening to all my fellow enthusiasts!

As a connoisseur of fine cookbooks I was looking forward to seeing what this offered in the way of quick, good meals, because honestly there isn't time during the week for a gourmet level of cooking!  This did not disappoint.  First off, the cookbook itself is heavy and beautifully produced, a true joy to leaf through.  There is a wide variety of flavors and tastes, it's nicely continental.  All very successful at utilizing good, often pre-done ingredients to produce a good meal quickly.  My only quibble is a good portion of the book is geared towards salads which isn't my principle go-to idea for a meal.

Although this isn't one of the cookbooks that I rely heavily on, I go back to it so often that it has become a favorite.  The recipes are quick and delicious and have numerous suggestions for mixing up the flavors or modifying to meet special dietary restrictions. There aren't many pictures (the biggest downfall), and some recipes are never likely to be made in my kitchen, but others such as the Artichoke Saffron Paella and the Irish Soda bread are worth purchasing the book for.  The recipes (which come from France and Spain to Turkey and Italy) are quick an easy to follow, but I am consistently impressed.  With chocolate truffles, rice pudding, Escarnot, Yorkshire Pudding, and a number of other entrees and desserts, this cookbook is a gem!

This is a beautiful cookbook you won't regret adding to your collection! Beautiful photos, recipes that are straightforward enough for a tween with moderate kitchen skills to knock out of the park, but interesting combos that feel fancy and fun- we're going to be enjoying this bright citrus all winter!
