Since becoming the capital of reunited Germany; Berlin has had a dose of global money and international style added to its already impressive cultural veneer. Once home to emperors and dictators; peddlers and spies; it is now a fashion showplace that attracts the young and hip. This gripping history follows Berlin chic through a host of historical eras and events; including the Nazi eradication of the primarily Jewish ready-to-wear industry; the confusion surrounding the split and reunification of the East and West; an unsuccessful effort to launch a fashion museum; and the debut of Berlin Fashion Week in 2007. There are many fabulous stories to tell about Berlin fashion and Berliner Chic tells them all with verve and considerable expertise.

Beautiful color photographs; well written historical information about the painter and the country; and wonderful recipes. The recipes all look delicious and yet mostly easy to prepare. Ive already used recipes from the book 3 times (Ive had the book less than 10 days) and have been very pleased with results. This is a great book to own or to give as a gift.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Visually stunning; greatly informative; with food gardening thrown in! A Triple Threat!By Sharon FirnenoThe photos are sumptuous exquisite; really capturing the sights feeling of Giverny! But this book is SO much more! Read it cover to cover in one night know it will become my go to resource guide for recipes gardening. Many lovely garden to table recipes; with mouthwatering illustrations plus detailed garden designs based off Monets large vegetable herb garden but adapted to smaller; raised box gardening; again; with luscious; beautifully photographed illustrations. One of the loveliest tomes Ive seen in a long time; inspired by the authors mother. This book truly captures Monets inspiration for his paintings; in the natural beauty of Giverny. Glad I bought two copies; to share as a gift to my friend; who lived close to Giverny for several years. Know shell adore it; too! Thank you so much; Ms Bordman; for sharing your Mothers passion your gifted artistic ability to capture the beauty of Monets piece of heaven!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Inspiring Book!By Ike CarterBeautiful book ! We have been to Paris many times. This time we will finally see Giverny. The book is inspiring for those of us who not only love art; but love gardening and cooking. We made some changes to our garden this year. I will enjoy this spring watching the lettuce grow over a glass of wine and your book.
