Excellent information on cooking large scale (50++) events. Great menu suggestions, excellent tips, OUTSTANDING RECIPES. Certainly not just for weddings - can easily adapt recipes for even family events (the recipes are that good!)

This review is from: The Wedding Catering Cookbook (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)
This is by far the best cookbook I have found on the subject of large quantity cooking for ANY type of event! I'm playing with the notion of catering my own wedding and have been trying to find recipes for 50 people that don't involve a lot of mayonnaise and cheese displays. I've looked online, at the library, asked friends and family, and finally bought some books off amazon.

I bought this book along with Cooking for a Crowd and The Best-Make Ahead Recipe Cookbook, and I was also loaned a copy of Food for 50. This book by far exceeds the others! The recipes actually sound yummy and there is a nice variety and everything serves 48-50. And everything sounds simple enough to make too! The book is cute and small and too the point.

I think this would be good for anyone trying to cook for their own event, not just weddings. And the beginning has a nice section with tips about wait staff, beverage station, and preparing to make all this food on your own. Really helpful!

I only gave it 4 stars because I wish there had been a section on beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).
