Betty Crocker's Entertaining Basics: Learning to Entertain with Confidence Review
I do not even know where to begin; this book is amazing! It gives sample menus (COMPLETE MENU w/ decorating ideas even!!!) for different types of occasions/number of people and the recipes in the book are great- some cookbooks have recipes that are too difficult or too processed'ish (if you understand what I just said, this book is for YOU! HA) I am extremely culinarily-challenged but this book is an awesome reference for ANYTHING related to entertaining! Some of the recipes I use the most are the bruschetta (AWESOME!!), make ahead mashed potatoes, sesame green beans and the ice cream cake (what a GREAT IDEA!! Perfect for birthday parties!!). I know that I've rambled on a lot but all in all this book is GREAT- it gives you measures for the amount of food to have per person- it gives complete Thanksgiving and Christmas menus which is very helpful for someone like me that lives far from her mom (she would probably be my guidance for something like that otherwise). I am a person who LOVES the idea of entertaining but I'm kind of like a deer-in-the-headlights when it comes to everyone walking in the door- this book has wonderful ideas for how to greet your guests, what not to do, what to do, what you can do ahead, ways to decorate, etc. I use this book all the time- it's a god-send!!

Book - Carolyn Harris - Central Calif
I had seen this book at a library and wanted it badly, but it was too expensive, then I saw it on Amazon and I knew I could have it.
It is more than a book, it is a how-to on entertaining and everyone
I know wants a copy.
Great book - M. R. Beiler - raleigh, nc
My mom gave me this book for Christmas several years ago... and she continually tries to steal it. I finally bought her her own copy... and a couple for my friends too! Easy and quick recipes - and some ideas for entertaining.
Delicious recipes - S. Russell Mullen - Leesburg, VA
This book is designed for entertaining, and it does a good job of covering the basics involved with being a good host. The great thing is that the recipes are simple to make and they are delicious! I highly recommend this book for any kitchen.
