Summary: This is THE book for party planning!
Comment: I am planning on catering my own wedding with the help of a acquintance who does catering on the side. I have been looking for books that could help me plan a meal for 200 people, but without cheesy boring recipes. The reason I'm doing the cooking is we wanted some original and tasty menu items without breaking the bank. I also needed some practical information on how to pull off cooking for a large crowd without going crazy. This book is it, and it's the only catering book I found that fit the bill. Every other book I found had recipes like chicken kiev and casseroles. Snore! Even if you're having 10 people to your home, you can't go wrong with the tips and techniques mentioned in this book. It gives ingredient quantities as well as fabulous recipes and tips. There are even decorating and presentation techniques as well along with ratios for stocking the bar. The writing is crisp and intelligent without being stuffy and dull. All in all, a great book. A must buy for anyone planning a dinner party to hosting a large reception.

Summary: So Easy, So Complete!
Comment: My husband and I do alot of entertaining, but not on a grand "hire a caterer" scale. This book was exactly what I needed to host 4 or 40! The book is full of great recipes, but so are alot of cookbooks. But this book goes further. It has tables and charts and information about how much to serve, what kinds of glasses you need, how many ounces to plan on, entertaining your guests, setting themes, making sure your guests know what to expect, how to dress, etc. etc. The book doesn't have the glitz and glamour of full color photos...it has information you can actually use! After reading this book cover to cover (and using lots of the ideas and recipes!) I also had the great fortune to take a cooking/entertaining class from Nicole and learned even more! I now can't wait to get my hands on her new book!

Summary: Very Informative
Comment: The recipes are a little fancy with not very available ingredients in my area but overall very informative. I enjoyed reading it and hearing the author's ideas and experiences.
