There are a number of things I like about this book:
* The checklist of preparations that tell you when to do what.
* It is a very attractive book with a user-friendly format.
* The color section is great. It is always nice to know what a recipe should look like when it is prepared.
* The tips for successful hosting and mistakes to avoid are really helpful whether you are a new cook, or an experienced host or hostess.
* I really like this complete guide to 13 delicious menus.
This is welcome guide to cooking and entertaining.

|A Great Help for the Not-So-Newlywed!,
I finally broke down and bought a book to help me with my cocktail parties. I wanted to do just a little more than offer Cosco food platters at my get-togethers. Patricia’s book has opened my eyes to to the true meaing of entertaining. My husband and I hosted our first “real” party and it was so easy to plan and prepare for and it was way more fun than anything we’ve done in the past. I’m on my way to true entertaining and can’t wait for our next party. The recipies in this book were super easy and delicious that everyone thought I had it catered. I can’t wait to give this as a gift for my girlfriend’s upcoming bridal shower. Thanks for writing this book!

|You can’t go wrong with this book,
The title says exactly what this cookbook is all about. Easy Entertaining for Beginners. In the Table of Contents you will find menus like “My First Cocktail Party” and “Family Fiesta”. The section `About this book’ gently encourages you to take the first step into the world of entertaining and melts away any fears you might have. In the section `Getting started’ you will find common sense approaches to planning and preparing by pacing yourself. In the center of the book there are beautiful color pictures of a number of the dishes to temp you with.
The layout of this cookbook is very well thought out. Each chapter contains the following: menu, recipes, a step by step checklist (this walks you through what to do starting up to three days before the event all the way up to the guests arrival), optional shortcuts, party etiquette, mistakes to avoid and tips to ensure success. Some even give you drink and music suggestions.
This book is a good addition to any cooks collection. If you are a beginner, this book will go a long way in helping you become a fabulous host/hostess.
