Summary: Easy And Delicious Ideas For Your Own Perfect Dinner Party!
Comment: Karen Brown's third cookbook is a winner, with 21 themed and ethnic special events, from Superbowl Parties, Romance Dinners for Two, Academy Award Dinners, Backyard Barbecues to Italian Feats and New Orleans-style cuisine.

The recipes are simple for the most part, and usually feature easily obtainable ingredients. Each recipe features numbered steps which are not difficult for the cook with even average cooking skills.

Some of the delectable recipes include Pesto Cheesecake, Butternut Squash Soup, Potato and Vegetable Salad, Spareribs, Watermelon Sorbet, Caramel Brownies and the easiest Chocolate Truffle recipe I've ever seen!

Along with recipes, the author gives clever ideas for invitations, place settings, centerpieces and other decorating ideas, as well as recommended beverages and even the sort of music that would work best with your own special bash.

This light-hearted, yet elegant cookbook is highly recommended, and the glossy stain-resistant cover of this over-sized softbound book is likewise appreciated, as one of the little details that will having you "wow" lucky guests with your own special events.

Summary: Straightforward, Easy & Delicious
Comment: I normally wouldn't have the time or really care to right a review but I felt I owed it to the author. I am an Executive Chef and often do private dinner parties. Most cookbooks I am ususally satisfied with 25% of the recipes but I have tried about half so far and every single one is fabulous! I like that they are simple and give great decor ideas as well. I only wish there were more menus to choose from. Just my two-cents.

Summary: Wonderful book! Five-star rating!
Comment: Had everything I needed with step-by-step guide--menus with recipes, inexpensive centerpiece tips and decorating ideas, even background music selections! I've tried two of the dinners so far: Southwest theme with fish and mango salsa with a quick black bean and corn salad, and the roast pork loin with cherry relish and praline cheesecake menu, and am going to try more. Highly recommended!
