Celebrations: Original Ideas for Celebrating the Seasons

Rating:
Summary: Nice photos & inspiration...but light on the details.
Review: While a great resource for ideas and general instructions and projects, the majority of the food and crafts pictured in the book come with no instructions or recipes which is very disappointing. Even the items with instructions are pretty vague and rely on the reader knowing more than many novices might. Some of it might be cultural - maybe every Brit knows how to make a simnal cake and top it with an adorable molded marzipan rabbit on top - but this is one American food writer who doesn't!

Overall, if you are looking for a book to provide general inspiration or just eye candy, then it is a great book for that use. However, if you are looking for specific crafts and recipes with detailed instructions to follow you might be better off looking elsewhere.
