America Entertains was my holiday survival guide! The December in NYC Party gave me so many festive home decorating ideas and amazing recipes. My guests simply couldn't stop eating the Molasses Christmas Crinkles or drinking the Mistletoe Martinis.

Valentines Day is just around the corner, I am already reviewing David's February in New Orleans Chapter. I know my husband will love chocolate-covered rose petals and Sinfully Red Cocktails but I'm guessing I will be enjoying them more than him!!!

David, thank-you so much!!

David is truly an amazing talent who can transform any idea into magnificent! I loved his first book and was so delighted to have book number two. His ideas are fresh, original and imaginative and the recipes are incredible too. If you are looking for the perfect party planning book, this is IT! David Tutera is magic!

Having worked with and attended parties produced and given by David, I'm happy for all who read this book to have the opportunity to be "in the know" about his many secrets for successful -- mind-blowing -- celebrations. Now, everyone has access to the little and big "things" that makes David's parties so special. He's got to be the most creative and gracious entertainer I've seen ... and now, his readers will be too.

With the holidays coming up, America Entertains is on my gift list, especially for those individuals who have everything. This book arms all of us with those special secrets to keep our guests enchanted, not just during our parties ... but for days (and hopefully longer) as the experiences are stored in their memory banks.

A beautiful book to inspire any party planning with out of this world recipes and easy to understand tips for decorating. Many ideas for elegant settings to simple elements with just the perfect menu to enhance each. Stunning photographs will get "your creative" juices flowing. Tutera's tips (Essentials,
Extra's & Extravagances)are very helpful. A must to own if you truly enjoy entertaining!

By presenting a variety of actual parties, David Tutera demonstrates that a little imagination can elevate a simple dinner to a stunning event. The "Tutera tips" are extremetly useful as are small tidbits of information scattered throughout the text from caring for orchids to choosing the right ingredients for a martini. Tutera's clever use of readily available elements inspires the at home host to try something a little different. Visually exciting tables and rooms set the tone for any entertainment you plan and this book is full of creative ways to find your inner decorator. A friend who bought the book hosted an Asian food dinner party and was inspired to decorate her table in red, black, gold and bamboo to visually carry the theme to her table. Her guests raved about the total effect proving that it really was worth the effort. Kudos to Tutera and to anyone inspired to artfully enhance their entertaining after reading this delightful, accessible book.

I was in awe with David's first book and honestly was a little curious how he could do better. I can not even begin to say how incredible this book is. Not only is it work of art from a purely aesthetic point of view, but the imagination this man has is truly a gift. If you want to throw a huge party or simply want to impress that special someone this is A MUST!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW! I just received my copy of the breathtaking book. Not only is it filled with creative designs for entertaining, but the recipes are wonderful. Plus, it really does show us a great appreciation for our wonderful country. Everyone should have this book! I also strongly suggest giving it as a gift this holiday season...I'm sure anyone will fall in love with this book. David is so talented and creative and the text is great too!

I have everything by him. He is my hero. This book has holidays around the country & he explains why he thinks that holiday is best celebrated in that city. It is David Tutera gold. Get it.
