SPECIALTY SHELF
Food, Fashion, Friends - Fleur Wood (2010)
The title couldn't describe this book better. It's basically a cookbook, stylebook, and party book all rolled into one, from fashion designer Fleur Wood. It's a book for the women of the 21st century. Filled with fun pictures and sweet little introductions to each chapter, it couldn't be more clever or associate itself more with the modern day woman and her need to throw a good party. The book takes you through a variety of different scenarios, such as how to prepare for a Brunch in the City. You'll find tips for the perfect styling, music, clothes and recipes. One such recipe is the Passionfruit and Coconut Muffins, which are simply heaven. If you're not near a city or don't do brunch, then maybe the Hot-house High Tea party is more your style. This is great for a bridal or baby shower when all your best girlfriends are together in one place, having a good time and enjoying life. Don't know what to make for this type of party? Well, how about lemon cake with Earl Grey icing? It's a perfect party dish that will have all your friends raving, just as you'll find yourself raving about this brilliant, indispensable book. (AS)
