Lorna Wing is one of Britain's leading caterers and her client list reads like a Who's Who of the rich, famous and fashionable. Party! Food is her first, much-awaited book. It sets out clear guidelines on how to make a party successful: planning, reliable recipes and creativity. Every possible factor--location, the guest list, the season and the time of day--is considered. The book is divided into three primary sections: finger food, fork food and drinks. Canapé recipes, such as Bagel Crisps and Pink Peppercorn Gravadlax, which require no cooking, to chef's class Soft-shell Sandwiches with Courgette Fries, are included. Of course, there are recipes for her famous Miniature Hot Dog, Hamburger, and Fish and Chips canapés. Different combinations are suggested for weddings, housewarming parties and cocktail parties. Fork food refers to one-plate dishes that can be eaten with only a fork. This could be a Saffron Lamb Tagine for dinner, a Gruyere, Artichoke and Mortadella Tart for breakfast, or an Apple and Blackberry Filo Pastry for a picnic. Several fruit cocktail recipes and a few classics, such as Whisky Sours and Negronis, are listed. It's a gorgeous book and is guaranteed to help make any party memorable.

5.0 out of 5 stars An attractive and imaginative book, 26 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This book has proved to be one of the most useful books I have purchased. Lorna Wing is an established party planner and caterer and she has certainly shared some of her best tips with us in this book. There are lovely illustrations and some great menus using her fab receipes.

The book is divided into useful sections on finger food, fork food and combinations.

I have used this book when planning all my parties big and small.

5.0 out of 5 stars We've used this book to cook for special meals, 26 May 2002

By	Ms. Deborah King (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lorna Wing's book inspired us to make an effort for various family and friends get togethers. The food is beautifully photographed, but it is the colour combinations that the author has chosen which means the food comes out well in real life too.

Helps with planning, and as most of the recipes are sized for 10 people, you feel you can undertake "mass" catering without people to help. All you need is a good time plan, and as Lorna emphasises preparation, preparation, preparation!

Lorna's catering experience enables you to now which parts can be prepared in advance, so that the event does not become a chore and you can still enjoyed yourself.
