Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run 10 reviews
Alton Brown
Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2008
Trip Down Memory Lane
I grew up on the Mississippi and many parts of the book took me back to a wonderful time in my life....the 1950's, before the interstate highway system. Our family vacations were spent meandering along the highways of the day, now called back roads, and discovering all that there was to be discovered and eventually getting to our destination. Feasting on Asphalt The River Run is very well ...

Bunny Williams' Point of View: Three Decades of Decorating Elegant and Comfortable Houses 19 reviews
Bunny Williams
Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2007
A feast for the eyes!
This was a birthday treat for me and what a treat it is - a visual feast with great words and pictures...just a joy to own! Have read it from cover to cover but I just know it will become an "old friend" - dipped into forever! It is beautifully laid out and the personality and philosophy of Bunny shines on every page. Lovers of antiques, art and gracious warm interiors will adore each and every ...

Alabama Stitch Book: Projects and Stories Celebrating Hand-Sewing, Quilting and Embroidery for Contemporary ...10 reviews
Natalie Chanin, Stacie Stukin
Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2008
wow.... I am drooling!
What a fabulous, fabulous book. Even though the reviews are all so good, I was not prepared to be blown away by this book. It is gorgeous. And even though I had looked at the cover, I still didn't expect something so cool. I hadn't ordered it originally because I had the vague impression it was mainly about quilting - a craft that looks pretty but has never appealed to me - it's probably a ...

Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration 11 reviews
Karen Bussen
Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2004
My Wedding Planning Bible
I used this book to plan my wedding that happened in May '07, which was done without a wedding planner. My wedding was held in a historic, beautiful synagogue and historic beautiful hotel (similar to the country club chapter). So many of our guests have commented directly to us or my parents about how beautiful our wedding was -- and I have to say this book helped me more than any other. ...

I'm Just Here for the Food: Version 2.076 reviews
Alton Brown
"Stewart, Tabori and Chang", 2006
My atlas for the kitchen
Alton Brown is a genius. His forward in the book explains that a recipe is analogous to a set of directions to a house, but what if there's a detour? Or what if you want to go somewhere else after? You're stuck. But now, what if you knew the whole map of the area, not just rote directions. That's what Alton teaches. He organizes by chapters centered on methods of cooking, not types of food. He ...

In love with cake baking
If I could rewrite my life I'd have been a baker. I loved this cookbook and he makes it so easy and fun that a novice or a life-long baker would enjoy using it. Great gift idea for the cake baker in your life. Maybe if you are a good boy or girl they'll bake one for you?!

Amy Butler's Midwest Modern: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle18 reviews
Amy Butler
Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2007
MidWest Wow
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I understood the book's intent by the description. It's a LIFESTYLE book - there are not many patterns to copy (buy Amy Butlers IN STITCHES, if that's what you are looking for) - but there is plenty of eye candy. I expected more personal fashion (less home decor) based on the cover - as one of her patterns take center stage - but there is much more home ...

Sharing a pleasurable hobby
I really liked the premise of the book - that of knitting together with old friends or new friends. Also, there are some very nice patterns in the book. I think it is worth the money.

Grandmother Remembers a Written Heirloom for My Grandchild37 reviews
Judith Levy

Grandmother Remembers
When our children were babies they were given the 'finished product' "Grandmother Remembers" by their grandmothers and great-grandmothers. The children (now 29 and 30) love to look through them whenever they're home. I guess since they share 'ownership' they have left them with us for safekeeping.
This past year, I have begun giving the book at showers to the grandmothers in addition to the ...

An Affair with a House39 reviews
Bunny Williams, Christine Pettel
"Stewart, Tabori and Chang", 2005
This book has inspired me to stop 'casually dating' my own house and take our relationship to the next level!
Thirty years ago Bunny Williams fell in love with a run down 18th century farmhouse that was being used as a rental by college students. (That should indicate to you just how run down it had become.) She has done so much to restore the house and grounds to their glory days. The landscaping projects alone have taken decades to reach their potential. As Bunny's father pointed out, that had she ...
