 Rating: - Makes entertaining less stressfulThis book is a good tool for entertaining. You can make the meals as fun or fancy as you like. The author helps you put meals together, gives timing ideas and the recipes are very good. The Sloppy Joes are just delicious, everyone at our gathering LOVED them. I used many recipes for our Easter Brunch,and all were very tasty and completed mostly in advance. I have given this book to my daughter-in-laws and they have all used it and enjoyed it. Rating:  - Clever bookThis is a clever cookbook because it's written with lots of helpful hints and suggestions. However, I did try the molten chocolate cakes and while the recipe is good, I would really like to know how to use the paper muffin cups and remove them easily after the cakes are cooked. It doesn't work and I'd love to know an alternative and/or a way to make them work. Rating: - LOVE THIS COOKBOOK!This is one of my favorite cookbooks I own. I have had success with every recipe I have tried so far. The menu suggestions are great. She even gives suggestions for leftovers! LOVE IT! Rating: - Entertaining made simpleI love to entertain and I do it just about every weekend whether it's entertaining family or friends. Usually I like to make up my own appetizers or entrees but when I ran across this book I had to buy it. I would have to say some of these recipes might be scary for a first time cook but a lot of them are easy to follow and so great to look at. If you love to entertain then I highly reccommend this cookbook for you. Rating: - I love this bookThis is a book I keep reaching for when entertaining. I've made many of the recipes and they've all been just great. It's set up so that there are main recipes and then lots of other variations. She also suggests appetizers and sides. It really makes for effortless entertaining. It's an especially great book if you are a bit new to entertaining or nervous about it.
