Welcome to the Table: Simple Recipes for Gracious Dinners & Parties (House Beautiful) (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dinnertime should be a special time—whether it’s just family gathered together to share food and conversation or a full-scale formal party. And, with this lavishly illustrated House Beautiful salute to home cooking and gracious entertaining, every meal and every table will be extraordinary. The 130 mouthwatering recipes—shown on gorgeously designed spreads, with photos and serving ideas—include everything needed for a full supper: salads, soups, appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and, of course, luscious desserts. Some make great weeknight dinners, including the Herb-Roasted Chicken—or dazzle guests with the fancier fare, such as Poached Filet of Beef with Watercress Sauce, on holidays and other important occasions. “Serving Style” features appear throughout the book, offering invaluable suggestions on tableware, flatware, linens, centerpieces, and other tabletop and serving accessories most appropriate for a recipe. They take into account the food’s colors and textures, as well as the season, menu theme, and any other details that convey a welcoming spirit and generous sense of hospitality.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy but Elegant, February 8, 2007 By  karen asher (Kingston, RI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I love this book. The recipes are easy but elegant. Mostly they call for ingredients you probably have around the house or can access with no problem at your local market. You can make these recipes any night when you get home from work, or serve to friends at a casual dinner party. There are serving tips that really help you present the food in unique and attractive ways. The photographs are mouth watering. Everything looks so delicious you can hardly wait to eat it. Luckily most of the recipes are ready in about an hour.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
