Product Description

From vegetable and succulent gardens to sculpture and rose gardens to mountain and waterfront gardens, New Garden Design covers a range of interpretations incorporating walls, fountains, pavilions, canals, pools, terraces and groves in unexpected ways. The resulting new garden is a pleasure garden vested with spiritual, symbolic and ecological intent. A modernist interpretation of Roman stone furniture and freestanding walls punctuate the space behind a 1970s ranch house. A home designed by Bernard Maybeck is accented with a freehand composition of urns, cement pipes and rusty objects, as well as over a thousand species of plants. A grove of olive trees underplanted with rosemary and lavender fields gives personality to two acres surrounding a house designed by modernist Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

I was not aware that the cookbook was smaller than the one I had earlier. It had a green mark on the bottom edge of the pages.

This review is of the ring-bound 2003 edition. I lost all of my possessions in a house fire late 2002. This cookbook was one of the first things I replaced. I had had an earlier edition that was lost in the fire. I have used this cookbook many times. Whenever my daughter asks me how to make such and such, this is the cookbook I reach for. It never fails to have the recipe we need. This cookbook is for ordinary people who eat ordinary food. It uses ingredients that you can get at your local grocery store. If you want something fancy or unique, this is not the cookbook for you. I have since bought other cookbooks but this is the one that I refer to most.

My wife has an old paperback copy of this book. pages are missing, the binders broke in 2 and just in general bad shape. (from extensive use)
anyway my wife told me that all i had to do was find a replacement for her and shed be happy with that. that was for her birthday last april 2008. well i forgot all about it!! Now its jan. 2009 wife is down in the dumps,, we seem to always struggle for whats for dinner, and the book popped back in my head! I went to bantom books as that was the original publisher and couldnt find the right one. then went to amazon and found what i thought was the exact same copy as she had right away. i ordered it and it arrived in 4 days!!! as it turned out it was a much bigger and flashier copy than she had. i hid the book in the fridge and waited for her to get home. well she finally went to the fridge and found the book i;ll tell you the smile on her face went from ear to ear, she has picked up that book at least once everyday and just loves it. amazing how something so simple can bring such joy and excitement!! its now feb 15th 2009.

I was given this cook book in an earlier edition 28 years ago as a wedding gift…recently my daughter married and I bought her one. This cookbook is indespensible for the new cook and "seasoned" cooks alike. You will refer to the "how to" pictures and instructional sections, basic recipes, charts and measures time and time again. A timeless selection. I highly recommend it.

A good cookbook with lots of good recipes and helpful information. Uses up-to-date ingredients and methods. Doesn’t have the depth and variety of recipes of some books, but is an excellent foundation for the non-professional or new cook, with enough for the more experienced as well. The ring binder format is especially convenient to lay open for easy reference while you are preparing the recipe.

This is the second interior decorating book that I have bought from Better Homes and Gardens. I have found it to be very colorful, helpful and just fun to browse through. I honestly recommend it to those of you who like to try new ideas for your home.

Ironically, there is not much that is "new" in the "New Decorating Book." Anyone who is hoping to find inspiration or fresh ideas is better off buying the magazine or another book. After reading it, I felt as though I had been duped by the "All-New Edition" title.

Review date : 2007-11-13
I have several editions of this book. This most recent one is the best yet. It shows inspirational photographs representing many different styles. It includes tips and insights on what makes that room "pop". A favorite section is when they show the same room done in a different way - love that flexibility! There are great chapters on stylish storage, small houses, and lighting. As a professional interior decorator, I take this book with me to appointments so I can show clients some up-to-date decorating ideas we can consider. If you are serious about decorating, you seriously need this book.

I highly recommend this book! This is by far one of the best decorating books that I have purchased. Lots of iedeas in many decorating styles, all done with class.

There are 72 pages added at the front, aimed for newlyweds, with chapters such as "your first home", "your first living room", etc. Then you will find the 432 pages from the BHG New Decorating Book copyrighted in 2003, which was and still is a nice book. But, if you already own the 2003 book, you probably wouldn’t need to buy this "newlywed" New Decorating Book.
