Product Description

At Home Entertaining is a comprehensive guide to hosting parties with style, panache, confidence, and ease. A menu cookbook and party planner, it offers forty-six complete party plans and more than 250 recipes. Included are parties for two, laid-back gatherings for six, guilt-free parties for eight, or really fussy festivities for a crowd. Each of the parties outlined in this book comes complete with an easy-to-follow party plan that addresses every aspect of hosting a fun-filled event. Included with each party are such topics as party backdrop, party mood, over-the-top suggestions, shortcuts, place settings, and a party organizing countdown. Separate topical chapters such as "What Every Host Should Know," "Shaping Your Party," and "How to Partee at Your Party" give the reader insider tips on how to be a relaxed and self-assured host. With names like "Fondue for Four on the Floor," "Tapas Time," "Almost a Pig Roast," "Sparkling Spa Teen Sleepover," "Monthly Supper Club," "Sunset Picnic Supper," and "Howling at the Moon Buffet," each party is unique, fun, and intriguing. At Home Entertaining offers the same kind of practical information for the busy cook that are characteristic of the author’s popular cookbook, At Home in the Kitchen: The Art of Preparing the Foods You Love to Eat, with tips on ingredient substitutions, cooking methods, and food presentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jorj Mrogan has done it again!, October 16, 2002
Kudos to Jorj Morgan, she has done it again! In the logical and splendid follow-up to "At Home in the Kitchen," she captures the essence of entertaining in your home. From an intimate dinner for two to a house warming party for 100, Jorj guides the reader, whether a seasoned hostess or novice through the party planning process. Her tips on everything from the recipe to details such as decor are not only marvelous, but are realstic as well. It is refreshing to read a book on entertaining that does not talk down to the reader or expect us to have a bee hive in our backyard from which to extract the honey needed for a recipe! It is well researched and written. I am convinced that if Jorj doesn't know something about throwing a party, she could make it up in a pinch and it would be perfect!! In these times when we just want to stay home and be with friends, this is the perfect primer!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor editing & bland content, November 4, 2003
By A Customer
Numerous spelling mistakes (ie: potato for tomato!) and party ideas that have already been explored in other books make this one to pass on. For better insight, color photos, and fresh ideas, try Colin Cowie's Effortless Elegance or Nicole Aloni's Secrets from a Caterer's Kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Easy Party Plans, October 13, 2002
By A Customer
At Home Entertaining makes throwing a party easy. Not only does Jorj have party menus, recipes and shortcuts in the book but she also offers shopping lists to print out on her web site. The book helps take all the tedious planning out of your next party. It's a keeper!
