This is the second book in the phenomenal Chatelaine Food Express series. With Sizzlers, Monda Rosenberg, backed by the Chatelaine Test Kitchen, follows on the success of Quickies, with more than 200 recipes for indoor and outdoor grilling. Most of the recipes include two methods – one for the barbecue, the other for indoor grilling. Simple, fast, and tasty, the recipes present delicious ways to grill old favourites, while introducing less common barbecue choices, such as fruit and pizza, and exciting international flavours, such as Thai and Tex-Mex. Categories are arranged alphabetically for easy access, with the name of the ingredient to be sizzled running down the side of the page. Recipes are clear, with the ingredients listed in red, followed by the method in black. In the Food Express tradition, recipes are all developed with an eye on the clock (for instance if a marinade is suggested, it needs one hour or less to be effective). Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photographs, Sizzlers is sure to find a place in the home (and hands) of every eager barbecuer.

Creating a garden room is easy when you collaborate with nature. The garden presents imagery that gives life to wallpaper, lamps, carpets and fabrics. In Garden Rooms, the first book in the Chatelaine Home Décor series, you’ll find everything you need to create that summer feeling all year long: decorating know-how, inspired colors, easy do-it-yourself projects and more. Choose a color palette from the drifts of soft shades swirling through a perennial border or the brilliance of several fiery hot-colored flowers growing close together. Garden Rooms is about flowers, botanical prints and floral cushions. But it’s also about magic and mood, romance and warmth and how to achieve all those qualities in your home – indoors and out.

In a world where trends in decorating, like clothing, come and go, classic style is never passé. Classics hold their own for decades, even centuries, because of their enduring beauty and timeless charm. Classic Chic, the third book in the Chatelaine Home Décor series, will show you how to decorate classic rooms with a little pizzazz, so that your home won’t be left with the “museum look” – a pitfall of classic decorating. Here is information on what periods combine well, on how to put together certain colours, textures, and materials, and on scale, size, and proportion. With Classic Chic, you’ll be able to pull together a home that appears to have evolved over a long period – without spending a fortune on antiques. Classic Chic offers a myriad of inspiring ideas, with more than 30 do-it-yourself projects, including: how to wainscot a room, how to refinish antiques, and how to create a room-divider screen.

There are few things that make a house smell better – more like home – than the tantalizing aroma of home baking. Unfortunately, many people today don't have the time to fuss in the kitchen with complicated desserts. Luckily, Monda Rosenberg, Food Editor of Chatelaine magazine and author of the Food Express cookbooks, has once again come to the rescue of cooks who are in a hurry. In Sweeties, the third volume in this colour-filled series, she has collected over 200 recipes for an array of delicious treats that will warm up your oven – or, in the case of frozen desserts, refresh you in hot weather – without taking up too much of your busy day. As always with all the Food Express series, the emphasis is on simplicity in preparation, using only basic skills. All of the recipes need less than thirty minutes preparation time (excluding baking, chilling, or freezing), and there are handy tips at the end of each section. Chapters include Cakes, Chocolate, Cookies, Crisps and Cobblers, Freezer Desserts (such as ice cream pies, sorbets, etc.), Fruit Desserts, Holiday Treats (such as plum pudding, truffles, etc.), Muffins, Pies and Tarts, Puddings, Sauces, Squares and Bars. Sweeties is sure to appeal to first-time bakers, to old baking hands who want quick recipes, and to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Soft meets sleek, antiques mingle with contemporary, and personal pleasure combines with comfort in The New Modern, the second book in the Chatelaine Home Décor series. Relaxed, soothing surroundings, concerned with order, flow, and space replace less-is-more minimalism in this New Modern style of decorating. Learn to create these elegantly eclectic rooms by mixing cherished possessions with new-found treasures, combining an attic-stored ottoman with a plastic table or mating mismatched chairs. Here’s a perfect-for-the-times decorating style that has only one prerequisite: you like it. This expression of individual taste and style means homes are easier to decorate, easier to live in, easier to love. The New Modern shows you it can be done.
