Every occassion is catered for here - girls' lunches, tea parties, cocktail parties, kids' birthday parties, romantic dinners. As well as fabulous recipes, there's lots of information on how to plan a party, how much food to provide, what to do in advance and how to make it all go smoothly. These days we're time-poor but we love our food and we love our friends. This timely book shows us how we can entertain with style and grace.
