Summary: A must have for throwing the best cocktail parties!
Comment: Leslie Brenner's book is a terrific reference book for anyone who enjoys entertaining. The book starts off with an outstanding recap of the history of cocktail parties. The author includes tidbits like the most popular drinks from certain eras. Who would have thought that the 'cocktail dress' deserves it's own discussion?
Like any good entertaining book, this one has loads of recipes. They cover drinks, canapés, and hors d'ovres. There are theme ideas if you want to go that route too. I was surprised over the quantity of recipes listed, 130. You could refer to this numerous times and not repeat a menu.
As if the book isn't complete enough, there are also tips on the practical aspects of throwing a cocktail party. They include the types of glasses to be used, suggested garnishes to have on hand, and musical suggestions. There are few books I would consider handing out as a gift but this definitely is one.
My only complaint is that it didn't have pictures. I'm being picky here and it is not a reason not buy this book. With that said, I wish you lots of fun as you plan your own cocktail party!

Summary: Excellent entertaining ideas
Comment: I don't know about any of you, but my social inadequacies come up when I have people over to entertain. This book was very helpful to me and humorously written. The recipes are varied and good. I especially loved the "Mango Lime Dipping Sauce" and the "Coconut Shrimp" combo. I have recommended this to friends as well as presenting it as a housewarming gift on many occasions. Enjoy !

Summary: Indispensible Guide to the Cocktail Party
Comment: I recently hosted a cocktail party after never even being at one. This book largely contributed to its success. It contains an abundance of information on how to have a flawless party and quick and easy recipes and drink ideas that were definate crowd pleasers. The only drawback was that there were no photographs of the food, but the pen and ink drawings were charming. Thank you Brenner.
