Book Description

La Vie En ROSE -- New cookbook takes recipes from one ofParis's most fashionable restaurants and places it in the eager hands ofhome cooks.It might come as a surprise to some that one of the most trendy andsuccessful bakeries in Paris is run by an Englishwoman. But it shouldn't. With the triumphant success of Rose Bakery in Paris's 9th Arrondissement,Rose Carrarini quickly earned a reputation for creating simple, yetuncompromising foods that focus on the importance of using fresh, flavorfulingredients and a loving attention to detail.Like the Rose Bakery itself,Carrarini's new cookbook BREAKFAST, LUNCH, TEA: The Many Little Meals ofRose Bakery dissolves the distinctions between restaurant cooking and homecooking, and holds firm to the belief that flavor need not be complicated.Carrarini has always believed that simplicity is the key ingredient togreat food and a great life, and it was this philosophy that led her toopen London's influential Villandry in 1988 and Rose Bakery, theAnglo-French restaurant in 2002. Tucked away on a side street near theGare du Nord, Parisians line up daily to sample the lunchtime display ofsalads, tarts, cakes, and light fare at the charming b+-ite.At RoseBakery, it is evident that Love of food has become a universal language.It is this universal language that makes BREAKFAST, LUNCH, TEA pure delightwith recipes from 100 of Rose Bakery's most popular dishes, from breakfaststaples such as Crispy Granola to afternoon treats, including Sticky ToffeePudding and Carrot Cake, as well as soups, risottos and other perfectdishes for a light lunch.In BREAKFAST, LUNCH, TEA simplicity is indeed the golden rule, from therecipes and techniques to the structure of the cookbook itself. The bookbegins with a chapter on techniques and ingredients, with thoughts andadvice on such matters as peeling, oven temperatures, and moisture, anddescriptions and tips for such ingredients as olive oil, butter, vanilla,and marigold. Then Carrarini moves straight into Breakfast, providingdozens of simple and delicious recipes, including Fresh Mixed Fruit Salad,Lime Grapefruit and Ginger Juice, Honey Granola, Traditional Porridge,Perfect Scrambled Eggs, Ricotta Pancakes, and Blueberry Scones. Lunchbegins with numerous soups, salads, pastries, and risottos, and thenprovides main courses that range from Asparagus and Almond Salad withChicken to Braised Lamb Shank with Cumin, Aubergine and Chickpeas.BREAKFAST, LUNCH, TEA saves the best for last. The Tea chapter featuresmore than fifty of the tarts, cakes, cookies, tray bakes, and puddings thathave made Rose Bakery world famous and locally adored, including LemonBlueberry Tart, Fresh Ginger Cake, Pine Nut and Almond Biscuits, HazelnutBrownies, Apple and Blackberry Crumble, and Apricot Sorbet, just to name afew.More than 100 specially commissioned photographs from acclaimedphotographer Toby Glanville make BREAKFAST, LUNCH, TEA a visually richcookbook, allowing each recipe to seduce the senses from the very firstread. These pictures are populated with the food, people, and shopatmosphere that make Rose Bakery so special.

5 out of 5 stars A Feast ForThe Senses.......2007-05-21

This is a delightful book that operates on a number of levels. First the exquisite photographs capture the beauty of the mundane doings of the Rose Bakery. From the simplicity of a zested lemon to the ruddy faces of the apple suppliers to the delivery truck to the ooh so chic clientèle, the pictures transport the reader to this Paris cafe.

Then there is the author's story, a tale of a woman who loves food and people. With no formal training and a belief in natural, fresh and unpretentious dishes, Rose Carranini built the wildly successful business. Her sense of purpose and commitment to quality and sustainability is impressive and her affection for her patrons is palpable.

Finally, the recipes themselves are superb. Basically, there are two types of people: those who follow recipes to a tee and those who view recipes as a guide or starting point for their own creativity. The author advocates the flexible approach. She encourages the cooks to use their favorite ingredients and substitutions, cautioning that it is the method as opposed to the ingredients that is crucial to the ultimate success of the recipe. She correctly points out that cookie cutter results are impossible when using natural ingredients...the juiciness of a piece of fruit, the humidity,the weather, the rainfall or lack thereof, the temperature of the room all impact the final result. The amateur cook should not be deterred. While some of the recipes are a bit labor intensive, they all are fairly easy. Additionally there are plenty for vegans and vegetarians.

The author embodies the joy of cooking. Food should be fun not fake. Her secrets are all revealed...always buy fresh, seasonal and local; use organic and sustainable when possible and remember the most important ingredient is love.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderfully Quirky Cookbook.......2007-03-02

What a charming and wonderful book this is! From the lemon, rice and polenta cake to the Pistachio cake using a bit of wheat flour and ground almonds and pistachios, to the Eccles Cakes (cookies that use pie dough as cases) filled with raisins, spices, lemon zest and brown sugar to the lamb shank with cumin, eggplant and chickpeas, it's all wonderful. I've tried several other recipes, and, although I've only had this book for a few months, it's covered with smudges and bent pages.

I love this book!

5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of small meals.......2006-12-03

I noticed the book Breakfast, Lunch, Tea by Rose Carrarini being mentioned in the Lifestyle magazine that came with Sunday The New York Times newspaper. The idea of little meals caught my eye. Over the years I have handpicked cookbooks into my small collection, but I'm constantly on the market for something that I might like or might not have imagined. The latter appeared in the form of this book. I ordered the book, opened it on a random page and - it took my breath away, literally, with its structure, beauty (needless to say - Phaidon press)and a promise of finer things, food included. I opened it on a back flap, which quoted Rose Carrarini saying "Life can be improved by great food." Oh yes - they are my kind of people! The Carrarinis prefer and prepare their food simple and natural, preferably, but not necessarily organic. They put vegetables above meat or fish with ambition to blur the line between home and restaurant cooking; they have put together menus, and based on them, a cookbook that is too filled even to be read in many sittings. Rather, it is to be enjoyed by tiny morsels that make your lunch, snack or day. A thousand thanks for this masterpiece!

Book Description

East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.But Fiona's life is shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal man take from her nearly everything-and everyone-she holds dear. Fearing her own death, she is forced to flee London for New York. There, her indomitable spirit propels her rise from a modest West Side shop-front to the top of Manhattan's tea trade. But Fiona's old ghosts do not rest quietly, and to silence them, she must venture back to the London of her childhood, where a deadly confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future.

If you like a good love story with murder and mystery thrown in, read this book, but don't buy from Amazon.com... Again double shipped and double charged OH MY....

3 out of 5 stars Ah....It's A Romance Novel.......2007-09-03

I enjoyed this book but it's not an historical fiction, it's an historical romance. And it wasn't exactly historically accurate. Fiona Finnegan our heroine is completely unencumbered by 19th century sensibilities, she seemed like a 21st century girl.

I don't want to be a book snob... but this is not typically the type of book that I read. However, I did enjoy it. I enjoyed the thread involving Jack the Ripper, I enjoyed the unexpected surprises, I enjoyed the history of the period and certainly would have enjoyed more of that. I enjoyed the sweet, sappy romance, however I would have preferred less sexually explicit love scenes. I thought they detracted from the quality of the story.

It was a bit predictable and rather unbelievable but still enjoyable none the less. I would make the comparison to Danielle Steele, this is similar but better. And I think people who read this type of fiction would probably love this book. By this 'type' of fiction I mean those formula novels that always seem to end the same way...Nicholas Sparks, Danielle Steele, etc.

I recently read Jennifer Donnelly's A Northern Light, which I enjoyed very much (the quality was a bit higher). I wanted to read her latest novel The Winter Rose (which I recently purchased through bookcloseouts on line). But when I realized that the Winter Rose was a sequel to The Tea Rose I thought I should read this one first.

I did enjoy this, it was entertaining and easy to read and I will be reading The Winter Rose.

P.S. I recently read The Winter Rose and I loved it. I wasn't able to post my review of it here because it hasn't been released in the US yet. But I thought that it was very well done! I'd give it 5 stars.

1 out of 5 stars Not for me........2007-09-01

I found this book annoying. Far too predictable and much too long. I had so much reading time invested that I actually had the urge to burn the book after closing the last page.

5 out of 5 stars Tea Rose - Lovely Story.......2007-08-21

Excellent story. Love that Jack the Ripper was part of the story, very interesting twist. A romantic tell with lots of suspense. I really enjoyed the main character, Fiona. I love those women stories like Forever Amber, The Thornbirds, Gone with the Wind and A Woman of Substance. If you like those types of books, you will really love this one. I also read Jennifer Donnelly's book "A Northern Light" A Northern Lightwhich is another great book for young adults that also revolves around another true murder story. I have been to London a few times and it is always fun to read about a part of the world that you have visited. I hated to see this story end, but I have already located The Winter Rose (lucky me, hard to find). I have just read the prologue and I think Ms. Donnelly has another winner!!! Cannot wait for the Wild Rose to be published. I found the website for Jennifer Donnelly and she replied to my email and said that the third book of this triology should be out in a couple of years. I hope Ms. Donnelly keeps writing, because I will definitely read all of her books. I have also increased my "hot tea" drinking.

5 out of 5 stars Worth the wait! The Tea Rose is sweet!.......2007-08-13

I have just now finished reading the book. simply amazing. it was a total joy to read. jennifer donnelly seems to have a knack with centering her historical fiction books around notorious murders. this was set (in the book's beginning) in 1888, during Jack the ripper's reign of terror. The main character, strong willed and very capable Fiona, is deeply effected by Jack, and loses all her family, even her fiance, altho thats got nothing to do with Jack.
She goes to New York, and lets just say, she turns things around. shes capable and makes things happen. she doesnt return to her old London home until she's successful. There, she still meets with some nasty troubles, but she is able to find herself again as well.
its a must read, and a must read again. i enjoyed it very much, and am now going to have to find the next book in the trilogy.

Book Description

Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring, self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on The Real World, Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs, theme restau­rants, and cookie-cutter chain stores of her hometown.
After being hired and abruptly fired from the most popular clothing shop at the local mall, Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose, and her life shifts into manic overdrive. A “postmillennial, class-adjusted My So-Called Life” (Publishers Weekly), Rose of No Man’s Land is brim­ming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America.

5 out of 5 stars A Teenage Lesbian Romance.......2007-05-21

This young adult novel lacks the all-tied-up ending, much like real life. You'll love watching the teenage lesbian relationship evolve.

5 out of 5 stars "After high school comes life. Don't ask me what I'm supposed to do with it.".......2007-04-29

Tea is spot-on at getting inside the head and life of fourteen-year-old Trisha, aimless, frustrated, and rather trashy resident of a decaying Massachusetts mill town. Her hypochondriac mother never leaves the sofa except to dig her welfare checks out of the mail, her relentlessly optimistic older sister is a graduated hairdresser whose goal is being selected by a reality TV show, and her view of the world is filtered through the local mall -- where, with the assistance of her sister's Olympics-level lies, she manages to get a job at the most popular teen clothing store. Until she's fired before lunch the first day. But all this is a character-establishing lead-in to Trisha's discovery of Rose, a scrawny, fearless, adventuresome girl with a lesbian mother and a cigarette voice. The relationship between the two -- established within hours of their introduction and apparently played out before the next morning -- will have evangelical parents screaming to their local library about the "homosexual agenda," but, hey: This is life. The author also has an ear for sardonic description (a vodka/energy drink combo?) and an eye for painting character portraits that come to life. Don't worry about the putative morality these girls don't much subscribe to -- just enjoy the book. It's a messy, questing coming-of-age you won't soon forget.

5 out of 5 stars Rose of No Man's Land.......2007-03-28

This was an excellent novel! Very unique writing style and point of view.

3 out of 5 stars Why, Michelle Tea, why? .......2007-01-08

This book made me want to stab my eyes out. I read Valencia a few weeks ago, and was hoping for more of the fabulously insightful and beautiful descriptions ("Iris went through girls like a slash and burn farmer." How cool can you get?) that made it a good book. The drama of all of the sex and drugs and love was certainly exciting, but left alone, it would have been somewhat pointless. This is precisely why I do not understand why Michelle Tea would abandon her poet's voice to become a fourteen-year-old girl.

As a piece of YA fiction, this book is perhaps somewhat better than the rest because it's different. It's not neat and tidy (because since when is reality?), and it doesn't perpetuate all the gender roles and heterosexist crap that so thickly pervade teen pop culture. It's nice to hear from someone other than a straight, feminine middle-class white girl for once.

PS: I don't even believe the person who wrote the official Booklist review even read the book (or Valencia, for that matter). Some of those statements about the plot are flat-out wrong. But now I'm just being picky.

3 out of 5 stars Nice Read.......2007-01-02

So I wasn't planning to read another Michelle Tea book after Valencia, but it was a Christmas gift and I read this in about three days. I liked it, but it was kind of awkward. The word "wicked" as in "very" is thrown around way too much, which is kind of annoying, and Michelle Tea did this thing that I don't really understand if it was supposed to be some kind of irony or what, but she described all these stores in the story, without using their real names. Hot Topic became Dark Subject or something like that, and Jack in the Box became Clown in a Box. It was just kind of weird. It was a fun read though, right up to the amusing, repeated use of the name of the store where the main character got a job for an afternoon, called Ohmigod! The whole story takes place over a couple days, mostly one, though, where Trisha (main x-ter) meets this weird little freak named Rose and they have a bit of an adventure with crystal meth and booze and all female make out sessions. It's discovery for Trisha and entertainment for the reader, but at the end of the book, I'm kind of like "Ohmigod! What was that? Is there a point to this story? Does there need to be? What's the deal?" Like I said, I had fun reading it, but just like Valencia, I have mixed feelings about it and its worthiness. I just wonder, if Michelle Tea weren't sort of famous in this particular region of the literary world, would this story have even gotten published? I don't want to be the nitpicky bitch about her writing, but I couldn't help but be totally distracted by some of the typos and spelling errors that were just really bad and "wicked" obvious. Who edited this thing? With all due respect, I kind of wished I had borrowed it from the library, since there's only so much room on my bookcase. I do like Michelle as a writer and enjoyed this story, but I think she could have put more thought into this book and the details I mentioned.

Book Description

This book is a beautifully designed Tea Book. It describes how to have a perfect Boston Brahmin tea party. With some 'archness' and tongue in cheek, this delightful book describes in detail everything one needs to know to succeed at giving the perfect Beacon Hill tea. The authors have arranged this "how to" book around Miss Rose Standish Nichols, America's first woman landscape designer. The period covers turn of the Century Boston up to the 1960's. If you have but one tea book, this should be it. The book has taken tea recipes used for Miss Rose's teas and brought them up to date. Mary King, Miss Rose's devoted Irish Housekeeper is also featured in the book, along with Rose's Aunt and Uncle the scupltor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It gives a good look at the Cornish Colony in New Hampshire during its early days. The book won the New England book Show award for excellence. Other areas of interest included in the book, are Bell ringing--the Nichols' family pastime, and many side bars with anecdotes about the Brahmins of Beacon Hill.The Nichols' house, now a Museum open to the public at 55 Mount Vernon Street on Beacon Hill in Boston, is where it all takes place.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Book/ A Generous Gift.......2003-03-03

Simply put, this book is a perfect gift for anyone whose friendship and love you might cherish. This is a marvelously engaging and unique piece of literature. It's also the perfect gift for a friend who has an appreciation for history and an aptitude for sharing thoughts and friendship with others. It's an equally beautiful experience to read this book in the privacy of your den or to follow its recipes in the kitchen.

This is more than a window into a less complicated past but a sense for what many of us have deprived ourselves from enjoying in decent conversation and quality entertainment. A good friend gave me Tea with Miss Rose as a gift and for that friendship I will forever be in his debt. I am ordering copies for those I regard as good friends as I know they'll appreciate this magnificent and charming reminder of a lovely life.

5 out of 5 stars An insight into another way of life.......2003-02-01

This very well written book gives an insight into a special way and lost way of American life, Boston around the turn of the last Century. In addition to its pictures and descriptions, we were able to savor the experience from its tea recipes. Highly recommended.

I am appalled that this book was allowed to be published. I have never read a book with so many mispelled words and gramatical errors. I really wasted my money and this author should be ashamed. Amazon should pull this book, it is a rip off to a reader.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage.......2006-04-19

This book belongs in the garbage! There are so many spelling and grammatical errors that it interrupts the reading. This has obviously not been proof read. Spell check would have even helped. The same word misspelled in the same paragraph is totally unacceptable. I got half way through the book, and I can't stand it anymore. The further you go in the book, the worse it gets. This author needs an editor! It's gone to the trash. I can't believe Amazon sells it!

5 out of 5 stars Another Hit!!.......2003-04-04

This is a real treat after reading her poetry! So different from what you would expect from Ms. Sannes. You can really relate to the characters. The surroundings, feelings, and other details are well written. You can truely close your eyes and enter into the childhoos of Sabre'a. The transitions from childhood memories to the present and back is also well done. I can't wait for your next book!

Filled with Susan Wheeler's heart-warming illustrations of Holly Pond Hill, delightful mini-stories featuring some of her characters, as well as delicious recipes for every kind of tea dainty, the book is a joy to hold in your hands. Paul Kortapeter's writing compliments the illustrations as a Stilton Pear Sandwich enhances a warm cup of Earl Grey. Inspired, I made a cup of tea to drink as I read. The tea went down the sink, but I went back to the book with undiminished delight! If you are a fan of Susan Wheeler, don't miss this keepsake.

5 out of 5 stars Taking Away the Intimidation of Tea Parties.......2001-02-16

I really enjoyed the Polite Society Gazette stories throughout the book. We have tried the scone recipe and found it delightful and easy. This is a fun book to read, get ideas, and enjoy the pictures. There is significant detail on the history and etiquette of tea parties--presented in a way that is interesting and entertaining. In addition, there are a number of suggestions for turning a common get together into a special, memorable event--with minimal effort.

We enjoy giving this fun book away as a gift to friends and family.

5 out of 5 stars Highland Legacy.......2006-11-30

I'm not a real critic like some others. I just know what I enjoy and don't enjoy. I enjoyed this book very much. I read it to my husband at night in bed. We both enjoyed the book.

I have read several books with four stories in one book, and really enjoy them. I believe when four people write an ongoing, connecting story it must be hard to keep things together. I like the connecting story of Audrey in this book.

Reading out loud to my husband, I found myself reading with different voices for the different individuals. I guess I really got into the stories.

I love Christian fiction. I find other Christian people facing trials much as we do today. I find great encouragement and comfort in their relationship with Christ.

5 out of 5 stars Great book! Couldn't put it down!.......2006-09-07

I thought this was a wonderful book! I read it in one day. I have never read a book like this before and wondered if I would like the fact that there are four stories in one book. However, I will be reading more books like this one. The characters were wonderful and the message was too! I highly recommend this book!

3 out of 5 stars Novels Within a Novel.......2006-09-04

If you're looking for a christian romance or interested in genealogy, this book may hit the spot for you. With segments written by four different authors, I found it rather uneven. The concept sounds good, but I just didn't find some of the heroines engaging.
It starts as a contemporary romance with Audrey MacMurray taking a genealogy class. She's attracted to the instructor, but backs off when she realizes he's a youth minister. Soured on religion by her missionary parent's abandoment of her, Audrey resists efforts to draw her into the religious activities. As she continues her research, the book jumps to ancestors of hers. This generates several sub-romances set in different periods of Scotland. One character, Celeste, is quite passive, though her growing feelings for her bodyguard mingle with her spiritual growth as he reads the Bible to her.

5 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING book !.......2006-07-19

I enjoyed every second of reading this book.
It is so refreshing not to have to skip through pages of
endless smut that does not do anything for the story.
This was a wonderful blessing to read ! As a
family genealogist , it really made the stories
even more enjoyable to read.
Hope to see books like this to buy.
God bless and enjoy reading !

5 out of 5 stars Intriguing and exciting.......2006-06-15

I love a good quick novel, rich with history. While not the quickest, it is moderately quick and this one continues to draw you into it with the suspense and mystery. For the most part the story is light while heart-warming and inspiring. It has just the right amount of Romance and relational drama. I would highly recommend this novel for an enjoyable and entertaining read! I found myself so involved that I couldn't resist pulling out a pencil and paper to map out and decipher the heritage myself! Great fun!
