Grrrr, yet another cookbook with photos in the center, and only EIGHT (8) at that! The book is printed on plain beige paper, with more than one recipe on a page, which makes for a recipe split on to two different pages (Grrrr). This was so difficult for me to read, that I am not including my usual sampling of recipes.
Each menu includes a one page dissertation and a time-table: 2-3 days before; Day before; Day of; 15 minutes before guests; 45 minutes before dinner; Just before dinner; Dinner service; Dessert service; After service. Recipe titles are a large script, ingredients are a small script and instructions are a plain font, which I need to use my tri-focal to read. At the end of each recipe is a "Finishing touches & table presentation".
After the Acknowledgments is the contents which I found very difficult to read, as it was also printed in a plain thin script........ Chapters are broken down into 2-4 menus. Contents are as follows:
PART ONE:
I Love Planning Parties!
Lessons from a lifetime of entertaining
Eight great events
