Review
Once a busy corporate headhunter, King liked to entertain clients in his bachelor apartment and did so, he writes in this book, by improvising and cutting corners where possible.
His trick is to have certain staples on hand, have a shopping list ready for more perishable items, a theme to make the meal more festive and to use some packaged or frozen foods. For his "first snow" dinner - to be eaten by a roaring fire, of course - he suggests beef stroganoff, buttered noodles, tomatoes stuffed with spinach souffl (the latter made from a frozen package) and blueberry turnovers with ice cream (the turnovers again the frozen variety). The "reunion" meal features make-your-own fajitas, Spanish rice and lime ice-cream pie, all yummy and unpretentious. Recipes are written concisely and presented in nice columns that are easy to follow -- Chicago Tribune Magazine, November, 1994
From the Author
Entertaining should be fun and easy. I search out shortcuts. I would leave the office at 6, stop at the grocery store and serve a unique dinner at 7:30. I believe quick menus are a necessity for the nineties lifestyle. A lot of people don't want to spend hours in the kitchen, but still love to entertain. So, when you don't have time to read long paragraphs of instructions, Quick and Easy Menus for Entertaining is a sure way to prepare a fabulous meal for your friends, relatives, lovers, employers . . . and when it's all done, you!
