Christopher Lowell, The Hassle-Free Host : Super-simple Tablescapes and Recipes for Stunning Parties

Rating:
Summary: Recipes - UGH! Tablescape ideas - Thumbs UP!
Review: Sorry, had to split the difference on the ratings for this book...my idea of a great recipe is simply NOT frozen macaroni and cheese with some red peppers and extra cheese mixed in ( the preservatives can still be tasted, added ingredients or not). Find a great cookbook instead, master some basic recipes and then turn to Christopher Lowell for ideas on table design and decoration (what he calls "tablescapes"..that is where he really shines.
