Format:Paperback
i found this book very 'Americanised' throughout, with recipie measurments being in cups etc. However, there are good themed evenings to pick out from this book, with great illustrations and an easy to understand layout. The author Karen Brown, also provides great ideas of what we need to take into account to establish our own theme eveninigs, in terms of beverages, music, decorations and invitations.

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!

Straightforward, Easy & Delicious
4 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
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.

Perfect addition to any cookbook collection
26 Sep 2003
Format:Paperback
Karen Brown's book offers a terrific format for throwing parties. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I like the fact that the ingredients are common so you aren't searching various specialty stores to complete the ingredient list. The themes are spread out throughout the year so it's easy to plan a party at the drop of a hat. Not only does this book have lots of recipes, it goes into everything from suggested invitations, appropriate music and decorating ideas. My only complaint is no pictures. I admit I'm a fan of the glossy books and like to see the author's interpretation of what was said versus my ideas. However, the book is so well done that I think you will refer to it over and over like I have.
