This Williams-Sonoma cookbook is gorgeous. It has pictures for each of the recipes, and it's just a great entertaining book. It gives helpful tips on flower arranging, napkin folding, and table setting as well. It also has a glossary of special ingredients and techniques that some of the recipes use. It's a wonderful book, even though some of the recipes are a little too gourmet for me.

This is a great book for anyone looking for entertainment ideas. There are recipes for every occasion. I will be using it in many years to come since it is filled with wondeful ideas from cooking, to flower arranging. The recipes are multicultural.

Overall, Williams Sonoma and Martha Stewart are the best recipe type books you can get in terms of flavor/quality of recipe. I am never disapointed by either one. This book is exceptional, not only becuase of its photos, but because of several recipes: peach cobbler type desert, french vanilla pudding, indian style chicken (tandori chicken), it is incredible!!

This is a no-brainer cook book that helps you easily combine dishes that work very well together. The recipes are fairly simple, even for a very non-experienced cook like me.

I have loved this book for years. Almost any special occasion from casual to elegant can be tailored around the recipes in this book. The Satay recipe is particularly wonderful. I have friends who having attended one of the parties where I served it still rave about it. Buy this book!

More for super fancy style entertaining. None of the recipes were appealing to me either.
