Authentic New Orleans.......2003-04-28

I picked up this book at the airport as I was leaving New Orleans. I had tried many of the dishes at restaurants in the city, then recreated them with the cookbook at home. The instructions are easy to follow, and the recipes are very much like what I had in New Orleans. My family wants me to make every recipe in the book.

I have a happy hubby !.......2002-11-18

Oh my goodness ! Have you ever wanted to cook down home creole dishes ? If so, this is the book for you. Simple instuctions and obtainable ingredients. I just made the Seafood Gumbo and it is out of this world. (Don't forget to make it the day before ;) The Chocolate Eclairs are to die for and easy to make. This little book is a must have for every good cook and my guys love every recipe. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Buy it ! Buy one for a friend. A wonderful cookbook.

Excellent recipes clearly explained.......2000-03-21

This is one of the finest cookbooks I've used and definitely the best I've seen with regards to New Orleans cuisine. The recipes rarely require anything extraordinary and substitutes are suggested in those rare cases where required. In addition, she adds pronunciations which are often helpful for those of us who are creloe deprived.

Ms. McKee has done a fantastic job bringing the recipes to life. I could smell the fresh pralines cooling in her kitchen and couldn't wait to make a batch of my own. If you love Southern cooking, this small book will be a wonderful guide.

Delicious, authentic recipes; clear instructions........1998-01-22

Absolutely the best Louisiana cookbook out there! As a native of south Louisiana, I've never found a Louisiana cookbook that has truly authentic dishes--like the ones I grew up with--but this one does. And every recipe I've tried from this book has been delicious. It's not a large book, but EVERY recipe is worth making.

Fantastic service, Book in perfect condition!!!!.......2006-05-19

This is the first time that I have not purchased a book directly from Amazon. I can not say enough about cellar of books. After I placed the order, I received a email informing me of the expected arrival date. I was also asked if I had any questions. The book arrived in superb condition right at the expected time. Living in Hawaii, many are hesitant to ship things here without additional cost often those cost are not discussed up front. This did not occur. Even as the book arrived there was a note from the owner with full information for contact.

Very Nice Recipes.......2001-09-05

However, I find many of these recipes to be too much bother or too fancy to mess with when cooking for two kids. I'm afraid I just prefer plain, easy stove to table cooking and this book was not what I was looking for.

Gorgeous pictures and good directions as well. Everything I have tried has turned out well.

Marvelous Buy!.......2001-03-10

This is a high quality paperback, 8x11, glossy paper and beautiful photographs. The book is recipe oriented with a bio and sometimes a picture of the B&B where the recipe originated.

For those of you who like brunch entertaining, this is a treasure trove. I confess brunch is my absolute favorite way of entertaining guests for all the usual reasons. It is easy to assemble, relaxed and not much work. Oh yes, did I say "not much work?"

The recipes are not for the calorie counters nor cholesterol impaired. This is not a drawback, as planning a brunch menu can always include some items for all appetites.

A simple recipe that was much praised is from the Big Horn Mountain B&B, Big Horn, WY (edited - serves 4, but no problem doubling or tripling) Creamy Scrambled Eggs

8 eggs, ½ Cup milk, 2T butter, 8 oz. cream cheese cut in ½" cubes, 1T fresh chives, 1t chopped fresh parsley

Melt butter in lightly oiled skillet. Beat together everything except cheese and parsley. Cook over very low flame (cooking process should take 30 minutes average). When eggs begin to set, run a spatula carefully underneath, letting uncooked mixture flow to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces and continue cooking. By the time the eggs are set, the cheese will be melted. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Ms. Murphy is faithful about listing B&Bs from all 50 states. However, as B&Bs go in and out of business with alarming rapidity, I would check carefully before setting off for the one of your finest imaginings. Ms. Murphy's own B&B in Rhode Island sounds like the one of your dreams, fresh flowers and all!

Paperback is nice.......2000-07-25

I bought the paperback, surprised by the low price, and was pleased that it's large (8 1/2 x 11) and full of color pictures of both the food and the B&B rooms: it must be just like the hardback except for the cover. A great value, even if nutrition data (calories, fat, etc.) are not included and it's slightly dated (1991). Can't wait to try the recipes - they look great.

One little problem.......2000-01-05

I came on site to buy the book, which I intend to do. I borrowed it from the library because I found recipes in it for Christmas morning for the family. The egg and sauage breakfast casserole was great. The skier's toast gave me a little problem. Part of the recipe is a syrup out of karo, brown sugar and half and half which is placed in 13x9 pan,when I placed it in the dish mine turned into caramel..I made it again and put a little water in it and did not cook it that long. It worked this time. It was delicious. I got rave reviews from the family, but I still wonder about that receipe. What was my mistake? Or is something missing from it. Otherwise the book is great and I'm going to buy it right now.

Good Overview.......2001-11-23

This book is a great start and a nice overview of glassware from this era. Anyone collecting glass from these three decades knows that one book just cannot possibly capture it all, but this reference offers a great sweeping presentation. For collectors with large volumes of glassware, you won't go wrong with this book.

disappointed buyer.......2001-07-24

I bought this book without going to a bookstore to preview it. The only reason I wanted the book was for the peanut butter glasses on the cover. Only after searching through the book did I check inside the cover to find out that the Big Top peanut butter water tumblers were not featured in this book. I felt this was very deceiving of the author and although there are a lot of pictures of glassware, those pictures can be found in many other books.

collector's choice.......2001-03-20

the book is very helpful in reconizing and the value of many collector's dreams it has a lot of photo's that is also very helpful.the price was very reasonable,oh and i recived it in 2 day's.not bad...

glassware 40's,50's 0's.......2000-08-01

I just bought this book and the pictures are great and very detail. Gave a good amount of info about the company. Only thing I would like to see done is I have a problem knowing what the pieces are. It would be helpful if the were numbered so you could identify them easier. Would buy more book from this author.

Another home run for Gene Florence.......1999-12-22

Numerous glass companies from the "good old days" are represented in this edition and this IS another "must have" for the serious Anchor-Hocking, Fire-King and EAPC collectors to carry around with them in the car! Most importantly the photography is, as with all of Florence's books, beautiful and extremely color accurate. Price guidelines are updated and in tune with prices at the auctions. You don't even have to be a glassware collector to enjoy this book, it would make an excellent gift to someone's mom!

Great Pictures.......2003-03-27

The book has no index and the table of contents is only pattern names and not manufacturers. Although this book has great pictures, unless you specifically know what you are looking for; it is difficult to find things in it.

Great resource.......2002-03-02

Very pleased with this book. Many large, clear color photographs. Great variety of china and glassware included.

Gene Florence/glassware 40's 50's & 60's.......2001-09-24

The information in the book is interesting but not specific enough. Pages of pictures but do not name the pieces and sometimes it is difficult to know which piece is which. Also, can't really see the patterns very well; maybe so he can sell the book that just has patterns.

Another Winner.......2001-08-18

Gene Florence is the premier expert on vintage glassware. He does the collectibles industry a great service by having clear pictures of glassware that's often very difficult to photograph. Each edition differs enough in content to warrant a second look. He tries to add a few new patterns every time. For those he repeats, he adds different pieces and new finds. The nest part is that he has a lot of knowledge about the glassware companies and reproductions that he shares with the readers.

Product Description

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify & Energize Your Life, Your Home & Your Planet, by Norma Lehmeier Hartie, is an indispensable reference book for anyone who cares about their health and well being and for the future of the planet. Hartie concisely covers a wide range of subjects and includes a comprehensive listing of advisory organizations, product and service resources. Part I of the book, Banish the Ugly from Your Life, is a blueprint for green, sustainable living. Discover how to replace toxic and unsustainable products from household cleaners to food (including recipes) to furniture to personal care products with safe, eco-friendly ones. Hartie is the tough but motivational Life Coach in her approach to cleaning, removing clutter and on organizing the home or office. Part II, Bring in the Beautiful to Create a Harmonious Environment and Self, includes a chapter on Earth-based spirituality and a fascinating look at the Four Elements (Earth, Fire, Air and Water) and the Medicine Wheel. The core of Hartie s philosophy blossoms in Chapter Seven, Applying Harmonious AdjustmentsTM: Using Feng Shui and Other Techniques for Powerful Results. Unlike other Feng Shui authors, Hartie has experience as a designer and her skills are apparent in this chapter and the following two. She has combined principles of Feng Shui, the Four Elements, color, energy, Vastu, and good design principles that create a unique and eclectic approach to home decorating. Finally, Hartie provides guidance on how to manifest personal or professional desires. In Part III, Putting the Pieces Together, Hartie skillfully integrates the many subjects of the book into a unified and cohesive whole. At its cover price of $19.95, Harmonious Environment is a value alone for the comprehensive green living product suppliers in the Resources section. What makes this book so truly ambitious, however, is what lies beneath the surface. In a sense, this book is only marginal

Transform Your Home into a Peaceful Sanctuary.......2007-04-10

"The energy from flowers is so bright and strong that they can be put anywhere in the home and they will enhance your life." ~ pg. 217

Norma Lehmeier Hartie is a design consultant and Harmonious Adjustment practitioner who enjoys gardening and cooking. She created the practice of Harmonious Adjustments to give her clients the chance to reconnect with nature and to manifest their personal and professional dreams. Through her book she introduces ideas for detoxing and decluttering your home environment.

If you want a happier, healthier lifestyle that is more in harmony with nature, then Norma Lehmeier Hartie's book has a world of information to make this possible. She can help you:

Remove toxic products from your home and garage
Clean and organize your home
Buy environmentally friendly cleaning products
Organize your home for more peace and harmony
Find healthy personal care products
Grow plants that help to control pollution - A list of the Fifty Best Houseplants
Find the best choices in flooring
Figure out how to recycle larger items like a refrigerator
Cook more safely and use kitchen scraps for your garden
Formulate a plan to keep your house clean
Organize every room in the house
Decorate with Confidence

Reading through the list of harmful products gives you an idea of the ingredients to avoid in cleaners and how they can affect your health. For an antibacterial spray, the author suggests water and essential oils and for cleaning silver she also suggests more natural solutions like baking soda and vinegar. Using Borax and water is less dangerous than chlorine bleach fumes and you may want to try this in your shower. You may enjoy products by Seventh Generation.

Chapter three felt a little out of my personal range of expertise, although we know that thoughts can affect our environment and life and can move our life in a positive or negative direction. This chapter deals more with spiritual practices. Chapter 6 also delves into a deeper connection with nature, personality types and elemental powers. The list of Yin and Yang is helpful to create a balance of the two in your home. An entire chapter is also dedicated to plants, gemstones and crystals.

"If you are the average American woman, you expose yourself to over two hundred synthetic chemicals that are found in the products you use as you prepare yourself for the day. These products do not simply sit on your skin; approximately sixty percent of these ingredients get absorbed into your bloodstream." ~ pg. 91

Chapter four is especially informative and essential if you are trying to be healthier and want to find organic alternatives to products filled with synthetic chemicals. Why should you avoid petroleum and talc? Why is there lead in hair dye?

The section on an Eco-Friendly Kitchen is interesting and the chapter on natural and organic foods also gives ideas on how to save time in the kitchen. A few recipes are included:

Vegetarian Pasta Primavera
Fajitas
Risotto with Scallops or Shrimp
Lemon Rice
Grilled Vegetables

An extensive list of resources and a very handy index complete this well-researched and extremely helpful book. If you enjoy Feng Shui or decorating and organizing your home, there is a lot to enjoy and you may find the information in this book can also help with fatigue, anxiety and sleeping problems.

~The Rebecca Review

Detox Your Life.......2007-04-04

No matter what your goals are, this book has the starting point for you. Learn how to make your life less toxic and get a better relationship with Mother Earth.

Declutter, paint and detoxify.......2007-04-02

Using the principles of Feng Shui, you can create a harmonious home environment with this book as a guide.

Author Lehmeier-Hartie has you choose colors, elements and design based on your birthday. If you suffer from problems feeling disorganized or headachey at home, it could be your home is not organized properly or the flow of energy is impeded.

The author extends this tranquility to finding the right job and the right mate. Whether or not it is the alignment of elements in the home, focusing on clearing clutter in your life can only have positive effects. A very pretty book.

Life-changing ideas.......2007-02-02

Worried about what your family is being exposed to? Are you hoping to increase your wealth or find love this year? Trying to decide on the best color to paint your walls? If you answered "yes!" to any of these questions, then Harmonious Environment is a must read.

The goal of this book is to create positive energy both in your home and your life and to be kinder to the earth. Hertie is a design consultant, chef, gardener, and healer. She shares her professional and personal experiences with the readers, i.e., homemade earth-friendly cleaning products, tasty recipes for carnivores and vegetarians, etc. She recommends that after reading this book, you apply the process in the following order:

1. Remove toxic products from your home and garage
2. Clean, declutter, clear and organize your home
3. Buy/use environmentally friendly products
4. Learn how to use place objects (furniture, mirrors, etc.) to manifest change in your life

The relationship between people and the Earth is an important part of Harmonious Environments. To remind ourselves of this interconnection, Hertie recommends bringing the natural world into your home. Some ways to do this include displaying rocks and minerals and using houseplants as pollution busters.

Hertie uses Harmonious Adjustments (TM) that combines "the best principles of Feng Shui, the application of the Four Elements based on your birth date, color, Vastu, energy work and good design." I've read a few Feng Shui books in the past, but the author's clear instructions and enthusiasm has given me the confidence to actually try this at home.

I liked how the author reminded me to use this book as a guideline but to also trust my intuition. Do what looks and feels right for you. I also liked how the Resource section listed all the suppliers, organizations and further readings mentioned throughout the book.

Even if you aren't interested in Feng Shui, this book has valuable information about becoming an informed consumer and living a more eco-friendly life.

Armchair Interviews says read Harmonious Environment and get ready to change your life!

Fantastic book with tons of information.......2007-01-18

I got this wonderful book as we are moving our place of business, and wanted to make smart choices. From the first page, Ms. Lehmeier-Hartie shares her expertise in an organized, thoughtful way. The day after I got the book, I negotiated a much more logical and healthier ventilation system, and the section on colors was far and away the most organized and logical explanation I have ever seen.

Some aspects of our project are beyond our control, but I became a much more active participant. We anxiously await our new space, and know that the suggestions made here will add to the beauty and functionality of our space. I wish I could have rated this 10 stars!

Jam Packed With Ideas!.......2001-12-21

Great book! I got the book to get ideas for something specific and this book has given me lots of great ideas for other things that I can do. While I am pretty good at sewing, this book is NOT for the novice seamstress. You have to have at least a basic knowledge of sewing and of pattern cutting and matching in order to work with the projects in this book. I have already completed a couple of the projects and they look wonderful.

Creative Bedroom Decorating.......2000-07-04

This is the best book that I ever had. It really shows step by step on how to make your bedspreads, bed skirts, curtains, cushions, canopies and lots more.

This book is a must to have because it is giving you a lot of decorative ideas for your home.

Easy to follow instructions with excellent illustrations........1999-04-18

I have been reading how to books about home decorating for the last twenty year. This book, which focuses itself on creative bedroom decorating has very easy to read illustrations and the most of the diagrams are shown in 3-D.

As the book is originally written in England, there are curtain and valance styles I have never found in any other publication, let alone from the well-known pattern companies in North America.

Where terms are used that are uncommon to us in North America, the publishers have given us their equivalent identity. This not only broadens the sewers/decorators knowledge base, but it helps us when reading decorating books from England and Europe.

It provides information on canopies and and bed coronets, which are just coming in to their own in North America.
