A memorable book about the path food travels from garden to tableA celebration of a life together, a tribute to an utterly unique garden, a wonderfully idiosyncratic guide for cooks and gardeners interested in exploring the possibilities of farm-to-table living--"To Eat" is all of these things and more. In 1974, Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd moved from Boston to southern Vermont, where they became the proprietors of a twenty-eight-acre patch of wilderness. The land was forested, overgrown, and wild, complete with a stream. Today, North Hill's seven carefully cultivated acres--open to visitors during the warmer months--are an internationally renowned garden. In the intervening years, both the garden and the gardening books ("A Year at North Hill," "Living Seasonally," "Our Life in Gardens") that Eck and Winterrowd created together have been acclaimed in many forms, including in the pages of "The New York Times." They were at work on "To Eat"--which also includes recipes from the renowned chef and restaurateur Beatrice Tosti di Valminuta and beautiful illustrations from their longtime collaborator Bobbi Angell--when Winterrowd passed away in 2010. Informative, funny, and moving, the delights within--a runaway bull; a recipe for crisp, fatty "chicarrones"; a personal history of the Egyptian onion; a hymn to the magic of lettuce--are sure to make "To Eat" a book readers return to again and again.

Piper immediately runs into her ex, Dan, and his daughter, whom she allows to tag along with her. Prue takes a shine to the guy who works magic with his violin; he uses it to sooth the savage beasts in his act. But Phoebe gets a terrible vision which makes her suspicious of him. Since Ivan is a gypsy, could it be real magic he's using? Why does the carnival fortuneteller, Olga, believe there’s a curse on him? And was that stinky guy walking around just part of an act, or a gypsy zombie?
This one sort of rolls charmingly along, but gets really good toward the latter half of the book; there’s a fire, an attack by animals, and the Charmed Ones find the answer to whether the violin is controlling Ivan, or whether he is controlling the violin. The darker, heavier stuff is left for another time, however. The focus in Gypsy Enchantment is a bit lighter than usual, but very in sync with the show.
There is only a passing reference to Leo by Piper in Gypsy Enchantment, as this is very early in their efforts to get together. Darryl doesn’t make an appearance either, since story takes place nearly entirely at the carnival. It’s also too early in the series timeline for any of the serious stuff with Cole, which comes later. The Gypsy Enchantment is recommended for those who want to read a fun entry devoid of the heavier, darker stuff. This one is light and breezy and an enjoyable read when you’re in the mood for something lighter — much lighter. ( )
