Entertaining Ideas for the Special Occasions Throughout the Year.
Every season has something to celebrate and this book is full of ideas that will help you mark the traditional events of the year in style.
Spring brings the first flowers of the year that cheer the passing of winter. In summer, thoughts turn to picnics, days at the beach and having tea in the garden. It's a special time for weddings too, with marquees on the lawn and tables set with sweet peas and roses.
Autumn means harvest in the country calendar and time to hunt mushrooms on misty mornings and gather other hedgerow treasures like blackberries and nuts. The year ends with Christmas and New Year celebrations and all the attendant activities: making and wrapping gifts, decorating the house and cooking up a feast for the family to share.
Rediscover the enjoyment and inspiration of the changing seasons with original ideas for decorating the house, and for seasonal food and drink and things to make. 'Practicalities' sections contain detailed instructions for creating many of the ideas shown in each chapter, from flower arrangements to simple recipes to foolproof ways to make essential seasonal items.
Illustrated throughout with a huge range of photographs from Country Living Magazine's exclusive archive, 'Celebrations' marks the traditional festivals of the year in style.
