Review: As one of the recipe testers, I really enjoyed being a part of putting this wonderful cookbook together. My friends loved receiving it as a gift and my mother even though she doesn't have big parties or dinners anymore enjoys sharing this cookbook with her friends. One of the things I like about it the most, is the many seafood recipes offered.

Summary: Jorj Mrogan has done it again!
Review: 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!!

Review: 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.
