New Small Garden : Contemporary Principles, Planting and Practice by Noel KingsburySmall gardens are a challenge to design and to keep looking good. This title aims to inspire and inform gardeners to make the most of their small spaces by looking at more than 50 contemporary and inspirational gardens, at how their designers have created them and how their owners use and develop them. In this serious review of the perennial subject, Noel explains the theory and practice of planting a small garden, he advocates on the use of containers, revitalises growing your own, and explains design tricks, storage solutions and vertical planting to help small garden owners maximise their small spaces. And lack of space should not limit ambition for embracing sustainability, the use of recycled materials and the scope for bio-diversity as well as providing habitats for wildlife. All the gardens featured have been photographed in the last two years. Special photography is by Dutch garden photographer and former fashion stylist Maayke de Ridder whose design rigour perfectly complements the author's gardening expertise.

Holiday Cooking for Everyone

| Vegan Holiday Cooking from Candle Cafe: Celebratory Menus and Recipes... by Joy Pierson, Angel Ramos, and Jorge PiñedaFeeding vegans and non-vegans together doesn't have to mean disappointment for one side of the table, at least not with this cookbook from the owner and chefs of high-end vegan restaurant Candle Cafe. Here, you'll find recipes for restaurant-quality fare made accessible to home cooks, all organized into menus for ten different holidays (religious, national, and otherwise). Dishes like rosemary portobello steaks and sweet potato latkes with almond crème fraiche are likely to please a variety of palates, though if you need a broader range, you may want to pick up The Superfun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook by fan-favorite Isa Chandra Moskowitz, which is hot off the presses this month. |

| The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking: 80 Low-Carb Recipes That Offer Solutions... by Peter Reinhart and Denene WallaceWarm, fragrant baked goods are an important component of many holiday celebrations, yet they're often denied to those who need to monitor carbs, sugar, or gluten. Beloved baker Peter Reinhart and co-author Denene Wallace, however, have honed combinations of nut flours and natural sweeteners to produce quick breads, crusts, cookies, cakes, muffins, and other treats with zero gluten and a staggeringly low glycemic load. Though it requires a bit of know-how and is un-apologetically baking-centric (try Danielle Walker's Against All Grain Celebrations for a wider view), there's no denying the delicious results of this book, which Library Journal dubs "nothing short of amazing." |
