Katie Brown's Outdoor Entertaining book is absolutely delightful.

It's packed full of wonderful recipes like Salad Pizza, Crab Dip Crostini, and Corn and Pepper Jack Fry Cakes. Yum. The recipes are delicious but also easy to make.

This is not just a cookbook. Katie has loads of fun ideas for decorating and fun outdoors. For the kids, she has Googly Eyes & Smiles party bags. Those are simple and really cute. I love the way she takes a garden basket, paints her name on the side and hangs that to store gardening gear.

The photos in Outdoor Entertaining are exceptional. They make me want to read more and find out how to do the projects. They also give me ideas of my own to build on what I learn about in the book.

Outdoor Entertaining would be perfect to give as a gift to a buddy who enjoys the outdoors, cooking or entertaining. It's also a good buy for the coffee table of bookshelf. You can pull it out and get do-able ideas and also will feel your own creative juices flowing.

I originally checked this book out from the library, but after marking a lot of pages of recipes and ideas that I liked, I decided I better just buy the book. It is totally worth it! The recipes are simple yet tasty, and she has some great ideas for parties and decorating. I love it!!!

I've loved Katie since watching her on Lifetime T.V years ago.

Unlike Martha Stewart, she has projects and menu's that are one person friendly.

They are simple, especially the recipes.

The cookbook is a visual delight and brings a bit of Katie into your home.

It's worth a look.

I was excited to get this book, but found that once I looked it over, I didn't feel I'd be drawn to use it. I guess I need more pictures of the meals to entice me to cook something.
