Exploring Garden Style: Creative Ideas from America's Best Gardeners (Fine Gardening Design Guides)(Fine Gardening Design Guides) 1561584746

在线阅读本书 Exploring Garden Style takes a commonsense approach to an often daunting subject: how to create a garden based on a particular theme, style, or need. From kitchen gardens to tropical gardens, sound ideas are combined with inspiring prose to motivate any gardener. Included is "Going Native" by Andy Wasowski, a look at the joys of creating a landscape that nurtures both indigenous wildlife and the gardener.

From Publishers Weekly Stadiem (Marilyn Monroe Confidential) and Gibbs (of the famed Morton family restaurateurs) delve into the not-so-secret secrets of famous and favored eateries worldwide. Stadiem and Gibbs stick with the icons, but the unfortunate result is that anyone interested in marquee dining likely already knows the inside scoop doled out here. New York's Elaine's gets tagged, for instance, as "the Lion Country Safari of American letters, all giants, no midlisters," while the short-on-patience waiters at Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger serves heart attacks on a plate. How about dining at The Ivy in the heart of London's theater district? "It's so good and obvious a choice that you can't get in unless you're a star." And a trip to the Hotel Costes restaurant in Paris will-shocker-leave you feeling inadequate. Though the book's mission to "enable outsiders to feel like insiders" is noble, the dope proffered is minimal. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From the Back Cover Full of movie stars, tycoons, statesmen, athletes, and supermodels, with sex, money, style, and glamour, Everybody Eats There is a fun, delicious read. Matsuhisa • Nobu began modestly, with a little sushi bar in LA, which happened to be across the street from the hospital where the Hollywood hotshots had heart surgery. And the collision of incredibly healthful food with incredibly rich people with heart problems spawned the biggest restaurant empire in the world. Arp ge • Paris chef Alain Passard on why he turned off meat and on to vegetables: I couldn't keep having a creative relationship with a corpse. Cipriani Downtown • Where Bellinis are served to the elite of Elite (the model agency) and the world's most famous dirty old men—Harvey Weinstein, Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson. Sweetings • You sit with London's financial elite—Hambros, Rothschilds, and Goldsmiths—at long wooden counters and eat grilled Dover sole, or deep-fried plaice, with chips. Forget green vegetables; real Englishmen don’t touch 'em. Mr Chow • More LA paparazzi are camped out here than at a Tom Cruise film premiere, and more leg is on display than in a Hanes panty hose commercial. Elaine's • And so Plimpton brought in the young, struggling Gay Talese. And Talese brought in the young and less struggling Tom Wolfe. And in the course of ten years, Elaine's had become the most celebrity-packed restaurant in the world, all because Elaine had a fondness for writers, and let them float their bills. Dan Tana's • Girls Who Kick Ass love this LA version of a New Jersey steak house. So did Phil Spector, who went here for a Caesar salad and two glasses of wine ($50 bill, $500 tip) before he took Lana Clarkson back to his ch teau and allegedly shot her in the head. Al Moro • At precisely one, a crowd of men in dark suits storm the doors. Is Al Moro being raided? No, but they are the authorities: Italian senators and ministers and other bigwigs from the nearby parliament, but they're only here to eat.
