I fell head over heels for this beautiful book. Each page shares something new different. I love tablescapes, and this charm didn't disappoint.

There is nothing much challenging than a setting with linens, china, silver, floral arrangements, candles, and your own special surprises. There are so many occasions to celebrate.

Below, I have shared several images from the book.  ENJOY!

Inside the world-renowned culinary school FERRANDI on charcuterie is an entire course that includes cooked terrines, pates, and savory pies. In this seventy recipe guide with all of the needed instruction, students are also taught to prepare doughs, sausages and other meats. 

The school’s teaching staff, which includes master chefs, wrote the cookbook so that home cooks would have a less difficult way to learn to prepare meats, fish and vegetables along with the above recipes and techniques. There are 200 pages of  illustrations for the new chefs to follow. 

Below are the images I have chosen for you. Enjoy!

Ateliers of Europe is one of the most beautiful books I have reviewed, and I truly loved every page. I was indulged in this beauty for many hours, stirring up memories of my time as a graduate student studying Fine Arts. I worked with molds, statues and busts, clay, and sandstone. 

Ateliers are beautiful places where artists, students, and accomplished artist work. There are far less spaces than before, and the offices continue to produce the world most sought after objects. 

This book covers places that create crystal, ceramics, wrought iron, fabric, bookbinding, mosaic, wood paneling and more. You will see the rooms where this marvelous art begins and finishes. 

I have noted all of the places and the countries they are located  in at the end of this post. I have also shared some images below. ENJOY!
