I own Katie Lee's other cookbook, and because I love that one so much, I had to order this too. This book has a different layout than her previous book. Whereas in her first cookbook the recipes were arranged by type (soup, desserts, salads, etc.), the recipes in this book are arranged by occasion (example - she has a section of recipes entitled Chrismukkah, and another is for a day at the beach). She also has music and wine suggestions for each theme/occasion. Lately I haven't had time to make very many of the recipes, but the ones I have tried have all been great (Sweet Potato Casserole, Herbie's Tacos). If you liked Katie Lee's other cookbook, or even if you're new to Katie Lee, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this! The recipes all sound (and I'm sure taste) delicious.

I have both her cookbooks and I love them both. I love how every recipe has a picture, they're so helpful and really beautiful pictures. This book has a wide range of recipes from southern cooking to cultural dishes which includes sole meuniere, fried chicken, nutella french toast, crispy orange beef, pumpkin roll, pot roast, onion dip, mojitos, cilantro-lime rice, shrimp potstickers,and sausage balls. They're very easy and stress-free recipes. It's like a young woman's beginner manual to entertaining. She has menus for spa day, brunch, cinco de mayo, super bowl, garden party, thanksgiving and much more. Only tried one recipe so far, Herbie's Tacos, my friends enjoyed them...they were very good and easy. I have more than 150 cookbooks so its hard to get around. I will try more recipes soon.

I own both of the comfort table cookbooks and use them regularly. I am fairly new to cooking and really enjoy her personal touches on classic and comfort type foods. The meal set up in this book is really helpful with pairing items and putting meals together. I don't usually have the time to make a lot of her items on a daily basis, but everything I have prepared has been fabulous! Some things are more time consuming than others but very worth it! Great for dinner parties and special events. For day to day cooking, I'd recommend her first cookbook.

I got this cookbook for Christmas, after using some of her recipes that were printed in a magazine. So far I have made the "Steak Night at Home" meal, and last night I made "Herbie's Tacos". By far, the BEST tacos I have ever had at home, or in a restaurant! My seven-year-old son, who can be a VERY picky eater, told me that we can "add this recipe to the list" to have on a regular basis. This cookbook has wonderful pictures, detailed instructions, and I have enjoyed reading her personal tidbits and the story behind each recipe. Tonight I am making the herb baked salmon, and this weekend will be attemping the Chinese New Year meal. The neat part about this book is each section is organized by meal, so you can pick one, some or all of the dishes to make out of each. Some of the recipes are relatively healthy, some decadant, but any recipe can be tweaked to make it more figure-friendly if so desired. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who enjoys to cook and create a beautiful meal!

I haven't had the chance to make everything in this book yet but I have made the Sweet Potato Casserole several times, I just LOVE it and so has everyone else I have prepared it for. It was a great addition to our Thanksgiving Table last year. I highly reccomend this cookbook.

I love the simplicity of this book. The photos do a lot of the talking and I just ordered her first cookbook because I am sure I will love it as well. We will reference this cookbook for years to come!
