5.0 out of 5 stars The Party Girl Cookbook, May 4, 2000

By	Chris Strodder (California) - See all my reviews

Fun 'n' fab 'n' filled with facts, this great book is the perfect answer to the question, "What should we do next weekend?" If you're a vegetarian like me who gets sick of being offered hot dogs at unimaginative 4th of July barbecues, you'll love the wide variety of offerings listed here. Spicing up the recipes are all kinds of party ideas and great trivia--who knew there were so many verses of "The Star Spangled Banner"? These authors did, and they've served all those verses up, along with 300 pages of other info, contest ideas, inventive invitations, costume recommendations, suggested soundtracks, and decorating details. This book makes throwing the party as much fun as attending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Helpful Party Tips!, August 23, 2000

By	John Starr "justnotme" (San Anselmo, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having thrown a few parties in my time, I know the frustrations and annoyances that most "party" cookbooks serve up to the ambitious host/ess. Hours of prep, cooking and clean up for a few minutes of fun. Not with the party girls! Their easy recipes and fun, imaginative themes make you WANT to throw a party. And since there are two themes per month (and some are pretty ...unique) you have no excuse not to. I have made about a dozen of the recipes and have found them as easy and tasty as advertised. I know I sound like a commercial for this book, but I really have enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.
