Menus for Entertaining - The Dinning Diva

Molly Fowler, the Dining Diva, loves any excuse to have a party! For many of us, there's no greater joy than sharing a good meal and conversation around the table with friends and family. Entertaining at home gives you the freedom to laugh too loud, linger too long, and really have time to get to know what's on the minds and hearts of the people you love most. Our busy lifestyles make this time spent together even more special.

Everyone says they would like to entertain more often, but don't. Why? Probably because they didn't enjoy the last time they were the host or hostess! The fun of having your friends in your home is in the time you spend together, not the feeling of being over-stressed as you spend every minute in the kitchen! A good menu and a plan for advanced preparation will allow you to be a guest at your own party.

Menus for Entertaining is your step-by-step guide that provides answers to all of your entertaining questions. These menus, well-planned from start to finish, ensure compatible flavors and beautiful presentations. This is not a coffee table book, but rather a "kitchen companion", a reference and guide to creating delicious meals while polishing your own style of entertaining. Each recipe has a color photo that is a real (not "food-styled") picture of the dish. Most recipes include make-ahead tips and many helpful hints to make your cooking experience easier. Appropriate wines are recommended for each meal.

Entertaining is less stressful when you have a plan! The "Culinary Countdown" is a step-by-step timetable for each event. What a great feeling to be relaxed when your first guests arrive! The comprehensive Shopping List for each menu, organized by grocery store sections, is provided for your shopping ease.

Just select a menu! Invite your guests, follow the plan, and enjoy entertaining the ones you love!
